Etymology: From Shakespeare + -ology.

  1. The study of William Shakespeare.

    Now, to maintain that the poet evolved Italian local colour out of his inner consciousness is merely a piece of the supernaturalism which infects Shakespearology.

    If there be any knowledge of sublunary things in “the beautiful veiled bright world where the glad ghosts meet,” the shade of Shakespeare must find matter for inextinguishable mirth in the developments of modern Shakespearology.
