Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Arden of Feversham Shakespearean irony - ag. Arden's words, I am almost stifled with this fog - combine to produce as the play proceeds an impressive sense of 'the slow unerring tread of assassination, balked but persevering, marching like a fate to its accomplish ment.' But the special excellencies of the play are all against Shakespeare having written it by 1592. As Mr. Bullen insists, the weak point in Mr. Swinburne's criticism is the phrase a young man's work.' This play is not a young man's work.' The copiousness of the young man Shakespeare's work is the exact contrary of the deliberate anxious effort which marks the style of Arden of Faversham except in the prose scenes. In none of Shakespeare's plays can it be perceived that the poet has taken such pains as the poet of Arden takes. Unless Shakespeare wrote this play as soon as he reached London, and then for a year or two wrote nothing else, it is impossible to fit it into his work. And if he wrote the play as soon as he reached London and then took up the studies which resulted in Venus and Adonis and Lucrece, would he have written Love's Labour's Lost and Comedy of Errors on his way back to work like Arden? If Shakespeare wrote Arden it is the most interesting fact in his literary development. To suggest that Shakespeare revised the play is to shirk the question. Its excellence is in its warp and woof, not in its ornaments. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
