Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare and America The "New World" was the dominant thought in the secular mind of England from the time of Henry VII. to that of James I. The explorations and discoveries of John and Sebastian Cabot, following the voyages of Columbus and Vespucius, created a spirit of adventure and colonization which all the religious controversies of the reigns of Henry VIII. and Edward VI. could not allay. The old explorers had filled the world with their renown and had opened doors of opportunity, to enter which a whole generation of brave, ambitious men sprang forth in the glorious age of Elizabeth. The thought uppermost throughout Europe in that epoch of progressive ideas was "America. The adventurer spoke the word with awe; the financier conjured with it until fortunes rose from the depths of his excited imagination; colonists planned settlements and their development; religionists saw new fields open for the propagation of Christianity among the heathen; statesmen reckoned on conquests and territorial acquisition, while Kings on their thrones dreamed of vaster empires.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare and the Founders of Liberty in America In this period of conflict, the sternest that the world has known, when we have joined heart and hand with Great Britain, it may profit Americans to recall how essentially at one with Englishmen we have always been in everything that counts. That the speech, the poetry, of the race are ours and theirs in common, we know - they are Shakespeare. But that the institutions, the law and the liberty, the democracy administered by the fittest, are not only theirs and ours in common, but are derived from Shakespeare's England, and are Shakespeare, too, we do not generally know or, if we have known, we do not always remember. "Shakespeare and the Founders of Liberty in America!" exclaims the genial humorist. "What does the man mean? - That Shakespeare hobnobbed with Washington or helped Jefferson write the Declaration of Independence?"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare, From an American Point of View The following Essays were originally addressed to a public consisting for the most part of American readers: and it was the intention of the author to publish them first, in a collected form, in the United States, It, however, having become apparent, in the course of his researches, that it would be advisable to consult the British libraries, he concluded to issue the work in London. This was the more desirable, because a judgment rendered from the fountain head of English criticism, on what may be deemed a conspicuously English subject, would be more authoritative and satisfactory than if given from any other source. The author, therefore, takes this opportunity to say that the most rigorous criticism will not be unwelcome; not, indeed, from any vain confidence in his own views, but because they are put forward in good faith, and in order to elicit truth concerning a genius who is the richest inheritance of the intellectual world. Should, indeed, his views be controverted, the author must even in that event be a gainer in common with the other admirers of Shakespeare; for it can never be a true source of mortification to relinquish opinions in favour of those which are shown to be better. Presenting these pages, therefore, rather as a series of inquiries than as dogmatic doctrine, the author strives to support them by only such an amount of controversy as is legitimately due from one who invites the public to a new discussion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Washington, Shakespeare and St. George The Italian Colon (Columbus), was the first discoverer of land in the Western Hemisphere; but the first to visit any spot in what is now the United States, was Cabot, an Englishman hailing from the port of Bristol, though there is some doubt as to his having been born on British soil. That was the first link in a mighty chain of influences which Englishmen and their institutions have exerted on the history of the United States. It appears prominently in our laws, government processes, social usages, literary and scientific culture, and in our agricultural and commercial development. The past intellectual growth of America was in very large part from the seed of English thought, among the originators of which Shakespeare stands pre-eminent; and its material prosperity would be far less than it is to-day but for the market furnished by the British Isles for the cotton, grain, and animal products of this country. Considerations such as these should render interesting the material presented in the following pages as a small contribution to the wealth of knowledge that will be radiated in and from Chicago during the year of the great Columbian Fair, held to celebrate the lapse of four centuries since the discovery of the New World. In his youth the writer passed some time in the country immediately surrounding the early home of Shakespeare, was several times on the Avon below Stratford, and once had a narrow escape from drowning in its waters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1996, James Shapiro's pathbreaking analysis of the portrayal of Jews in Elizabethan England challenged readers to recognize the significance of Jewish questions in Shakespeare's day. From accounts of Christians masquerading as Jews to fantasies of settling foreign Jews in Ireland, Shapiro's work delves deeply into the cultural insecurities of Elizabethans while illuminating Shakespeare's portrayal of Shylock in The Merchant of Venice. In a new preface, Shapiro reflects upon what he has learned about intolerance since the first publication of Shakespeare and the Jews.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare and the Makers of Virginia Virginian history. F oranthentic information as to the proceedings of the Virginia Company during the eventful eighteen years of its chartered life, divided into the Guelf and Ghibelline periods of the Thomas Smith and the sandys-southampton regimes, the historical student will turn to the Records of the Company, sumptuously edited from the Manuscript in the Library of Congress, which they had reached by a strange Odyssey, after being transcribed in just apprehension of the danger menacing them by the far-sighted care of Nicholas Ferrar; the Ferrar papers at Magdalene College, Cambridge; and the Manchester papers in the Public Record Office. Miss Kingsbury's monumental edition is prefaced by Professor Osgood, whose own American Colonies in the Seventeenth Century may claim to be considered a standard work in the entire subject of which my address to-night only touches a section while Mr. Newton's admirably written Colonising Activities of the English Puritans treats its final phase (the history of the Providence Company). On the other hand, Professor W. R. Scott's remarkable work on British Joint Stock Companies, though ranging over a far wider field than we have at present in contemplation, and conducting an exceedingly complex inquiry with close attention to the varying conditions of its several parts, discusses that section of it which concerns the Virginia Company with masterly conciseness, and may serve as a welcome guide through more discursive methods of treatment. As to the general bearing of this chapter of colonial upon the progress of English political life in general, Gardiner's standard work, to which I like to appeal in these walls, and which has just undergone the test of a searching critical estimate from an able American pen, is not likely to be left neglected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Heroes on the Stage In the kindly notices, by the critics, of "Shakespeare's Heroines on the Stage," the suggestion was made, in a number of instances, that a companion volume, treating of remaining plays and of the Heroes, might prove a useful accompaniment; and for that reason this volume (entirely distinct from the other, and dealing almost entirely with another series of Shakespeare's plays) has been written. This book, like the "Heroines," is not intended exclusively for the professed lovers of theatrical literature. It is written with the hope of entertaining the masses of people who read Shakespeare's works and see them played, and who would naturally feel interested in knowing how the great actors of the past and present, in England and in America, have interpreted the famous characters on the stage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bacon and Shakespeare The conclusions I have formed with respect to the two cipher revelations which are now agitating the minds of both Shakespeareans and Baconians are derived partly from my estimate of the character of Bacon, partly from the apparent sincerity of Mrs. Gallup, and partly again from what I know of other and entirely independent decipherations of further Bacon messages, which are now being actively made in this country. Of Mrs. Gallup I only know that which her book and her publishers reveal. Of Dr. Orville W. Owen, the discoverer of the word-cipher I learn, front an American source, quoted by way of a testimonial in one of the doctor's books, that he is a man who has reached middle age, and who has never shown the slightest sign of possessing unusual or extraordinary literary skill, or genius. In other words, his sponsors assure us that he is incapable of writing those portions of Shakespeare which form so great a part of his decipherations, or even the connecting passages which appear to have been contributed by Bacon. We must accept this opinion as a tribute of personal character. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
