About this book
A Dictionary of Shakespeare's Sexual Puns and Their Significance by Rubinstein, Frankie. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780312126773.
...Rubinstein is far from innocent and comes to our aid with a lot of learning...and is quite right to urge that not to appreciate the sexiness of Shakespeares language impoverishes our own understanding of him. For one thing, it was a strong element in his appeal to Elizabethans, who were much less woolly-mouthed and smooth-tongued than we are. For another, it has constituted a salty preservative for his work, among those who can appreciate it...an enlightening book. A.L.Rowse, The Standard.
