A very good copy of Dr. Wagner's specialized dictionary on all things Elizabethan. Issued without jacket and bound in illustrated boards. The 392 page reference includes hundreds of entries describing key citizens and courtiers as well as the events, ideas, and common terminology that defined the Elizabethan era from 1558-1603. Also included are seven appendixes on genealogy, archbishops, monarchs, and selected historical fiction, motion pictures, and sound recordings about the time. I very useful reference for the student of literature or theatre. Light shelf wear to covers, else fine.
