Shakespearian Acrostics: A Demonstration Of The Marginal Words In The First Folio Of Mr. William Shakespeare�������s Comedies, Histories And Tragedies is a book written by Edward D. Johnson. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the marginal words in the First Folio of William Shakespeare's plays, including his comedies, histories, and tragedies. The author demonstrates how these marginal words form acrostics, which are a type of word puzzle where the first letter of each line spells out a word or phrase. Through his analysis, Johnson argues that these acrostics were intentionally placed by Shakespeare as a way to convey hidden messages and meanings in his plays. The book includes numerous examples of acrostics found in the First Folio, along with detailed explanations of their significance and how they relate to the themes and characters in Shakespeare's works.Overall, Shakespearian Acrostics is a fascinating exploration of the hidden meanings and puzzles within Shakespeare's plays, and offers a unique perspective on the work of one of the greatest playwrights in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
