Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare and Voltaire In the opening volume of this series I sought to show, among other things, that the controversy between what we now commonly call the classical and romantic dramas was carried on as vigorously during the Elizabethan era as it has been at any period since. The present names did not exist, it is true; but the realities were just as active and as potent. The lines were drawn as rigidly then as they have been at any time; and according to their preferences and beliefs men allied themselves with the one or the other party. Evidence of this was furnished from the mouths of various witnesses. But had not their testimony been handed down, the existence of such a condition of things could have been inferred, not merely from the acts of Shakespeare, but from his very words. From them it is clear that he not only recognized the distinction between the two kinds of drama, but that he advisedly ranged himself upon the side of the romanticists. His rejection of the unities, for illustration, was not accidental but deliberate. He made this evident not only by his marked conformity to them in at least one instance; in two or three others he practically proclaimed his dissent from them in the references he made to the arguments by which they were supported.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay on the Writings and Genius of Shakespeare: Compared With the Greek and French Dramatic Poets; With Some Remarks Upon the Misrepresentations of Mons; De Voltaire Mr. pope, in the preface to his edition of Shakspeare, sets out with declaring, that, of all English poets, this author offers the fullest and fairest subject for criticism. Animated by an opinion of such authority, some of the most learned and ingenious of our critics have made correct editions of his works, and enriched them with notes. The superiority of talents and learning, which I acknowledge in these editors, leaves me no room to entertain the vain presumption of attempting to correct any passages of this celebrated Author; but the whole, as corrected and elucidated by them, lies open to a thorough enquiry into the genius of our great English classic. Unprejudiced and candid judgment will be the surest basis of his fame. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Voltaire's Zaïre and Épîtres: Edited With Introduction and Notes Voltaire has been called the Euripides of the classical French drama. Whether this title is an appropriate one or not may be an open question, but there is no doubt that he was the most prominent dramatist of France during the eighteenth century and one of the most finished and influential writers in the entire range of literature. This edition of one of his most successful dramas, by many considered his best, Zaire, and of a number of his epistles and letters, herewith for the first time pre sented to the public of teachers and students, may therefore be reasonably expected to fill a lack in our courses of French. The tragedy of Zaire was writ ten in conscious imitation of Shakespeare's Othello, and while this circumstance may not add anything to the value of the piece, it is sufficiently interesting to justify the study of the work in all such schools and colleges as look upon a comparative study of litera ture as a valuable and necessary branch of higher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commentaries on the Law in Shakespeare: With Explanations of the Legal Terms Used in the Plays, Poems and Sonnets, and Discussions of the Criminal Types Presented Referring to the current criticism of his Author, we find that Dr. Samuel Johnson, in his preface to his edition of the plays, published in 1768, said: His adherence to general nature, has exposed him to the censure of critics, who form their judgments upon narrower principles. Dennis and Rymer think his Romans not sufficiently Rom an; and Voltaire censures his kings as not completely royal.8 This distinguished Editor and Commentator thus feels called upon to apologize for the Poet, with the explanation that Shakespeare always makes nature pre dominate over accident.'
