Abstract:

The county of Chester was formed in the early 1800s from several towns, and was primarily agriculture driven and populated by English and Scotch-Irish descendants. As such, many common sayings and phrases could be traced back to Shakespearean origins. A list of these sayings and the corresponding Shakespearean works are included.
