Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare in Fact and in Criticism These Papers have been indexed in a common table because, if there is anything of value in them, it will not he less valuable when made of easy reference. But principally they are so identified because, although written at differing intervals, there runs through them all a sort of common purpose. That purpose is to protest, as far as one voice can, against what seems to me the cruel and unusual punishment which Shakespeare is just now meeting at the hands of the esthetic critics. These esthetes, divigating their processes from simple demonstration of Shakespeare's beauties, have fallen to counting his lines, his syllables and endings; from this numeration to conceive a certain algebra, and from this algebra to demonstrate the period and the chronology of this or that play or poem. Nay, more. They even write his William Shakespeare's personal history from the impressions they themselves receive from this treatment of particular passages in the Plays, until there are as many William Shakespeares as there are commentators! My own idea has been that William Shakespeare was a man of like passion with ourselves, whose moods and veins were influenced just as are ours by his surroundings, employments, vocations; that his works are for all times that love him, but not (as is shown by the Davenant episode) for those that do not; and that, great as he teas and oceanic as teas his genius, we can read him all the better because he was, after all, a man. I admit to having modified in the course of time and study a good many of the opinions expressed in these Papers, as well as in my earlier Shakespearean Myth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare and His Critics The critics of the eighteenth century were largely occupied with endeavors to establish a standard text by emendation and conjecture. Quite generally they looked at the plays from the standpoint of the theatre, ignor ing the idea that the tragedies were commentaries on human nature and possessed an absolute quality like truth or beauty. Dr. Johnson is typical of this class, if he is not too extreme an instance of common sense to be typical of that excellent quality. Though these critics rebelled rather timidly against slavish obedience to the authority of 'the ancients, ' the idea that the author was an untutored, natural genius, who would have been much improved by a university training, was not fully eradicated. The true nature of art was not philosophically grasped, and the profound relation of the plays to life was but dimly hinted at. The idea that the characters could be discussed exactly as if they were real, that they differed from historic characters in pos sessing more interesting personalities, in being placed in more complicated and trying situations, and, there fore, exemplifying more fully the passions of men, did not occur to the critics till very late in the eighteenth century. Nor was it discovered till towards the close of the eighteenth century that Shakespeare's female characters bear almost as close a relation to feminine nature as his heroes do to manly nature. In fact, both of these views may be said to belong to the romantic school of the nineteenth century. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare in the Eighteenth Century At no time since his death has Shakespeare not been placed upon a pinnacle by himself as the greatest of all English writers. But each age has its own point of View, its own special interests, its characteristic method of treatment; and no age can ever say the last word on anything that is a living and life-giving force. Say the last word on Shakespeare, and Shakespeare is dead. There can never be finality in the criticism of a great author. The truth and the beauty embodied in his work exercise the taste and the acumen of one critic, and remain undiminished and untarnished for the next. All the best criticism of the present day.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1887 edition. Excerpt: ... HAVE elsewhere called attention to the fact that whatever " copyright," or right to literary property (of whatever description or by whatever name called) obtained in Shakespeare's lifetime, was not by virtue.of any statute, but at common law and so perpetual. It follows, therefore, that could we trace the present heirs or assigns of whoever owned the literary rights existing in the plays in Shakespeare's own lifetime, we would find the present owners of those invaluable and constantly reprinted possessions. It was not from any lawyer's instinct or hope of finding a party in whose behalf I coidd institute proceedings for piracy--not only against every living editor, and almost every existing publishing house, but for an accounting and mesne profits against the legal representatives of all the editors and publishers since 1616--but from curiosity that I asked my friend, Mr. John Wallace Bell, to set on foot an inquiry as to whether we had any Shakespeares in America. Indeed, had I cherished only the sordid motive, I should have instructed him to search rather for assigns of John Heminges and Henry Condell, Jaggard, Blount, Arthur Johnson, R. Boniars, H. Walley and all the others (including, perhaps, the unspeakable and shadowy "T. T.") who chiseled Shakespeare--the engrossed man of affairs and proprietor of two theaters--and his assigns out of so much that equitably ought to have been his and theirs. Mr. Bell was advised to hold his search closely to the name Shakespeare. And it is because I think the results of his search interesting (unsatisfactory as they are in the capital object) that I have asked permission to summarize his results here. It seems that on the ninth day of February, 1884, there were just thirty persons (males) in the...

None of the known facts of Shakespeare's life would lead us to suppose that he had natural opportunities of acquiring Spanish, as he certainly had of acquiring French.

This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spoils Studies in Shakespeare There have been, admittedly, mountains of rubbish written about Shakespeare. He has (according to Mr. Saintsbury, his latest critic and expositor) been the subject of commentatorial folly to an extent which dwarfs the expense of that folly on any other single subject. One especial form of folly has been to treat Shakespeare as, if not exactly an inspired idiot, at any rate a mainly tentative if not purely unconscious artist, much of whose work is only not bad as art, while most, if not all, of it was originally produced with a minimum of artistic conscious ness and designl - and, I may add, with a minimum of literary preparation, and a tag-rag equipment of knowledge, comparable only to the motley of a juggler or a court fool. The business of the critic, therefore, is much more to shovel away the rubbish of his predecessors than to attempt any accummula tion of his own. In the meantime certain writers have boldly put forward the theory that Shakespeare was not Shakespeare at all. The newest form of folly, in fact, is to deny that Shakespeare wrote the plays and poems so long attributed to him - and not only to deny that Shakespeare wrote them, but to, assert that his great co-temporary, Francis Bacon, did. This hypothesis - strange and startling as it may seem - is, if not proved, at least supported by many curious and ingenious arguments. Many people have been convinced of its validity, and declare that for them it has thrown fresh beauty, grandeur, and meaning on the plays, and cleared up many doubts and difficulties of criticism, which have so far defied s'olution.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mr. William Shakespeare: Original and Early Editions of His Quartos and Folios, His Source Books and Those Containing Contemporary Notices The number of books relating to Shakespeare is so large already that it may seem, at first thought, unnecessary to add another. For three centuries he has been approached from every point of View, by every kind of mind, and no one can hope to read all that has been written about him. My best excuse for putting one more book about Shake speare before the public is that it contains, in one volume, full and accurate descriptions of the first editions of a great many books in early English literature connected with him, and gives their present location. It is, in fact, an attempt to bring to gether, in compact form, all the more important printed sources before 1640, from which we derive our knowledge of the greatest English dramatist, his life and works. In 1916, on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of Shake speare's death, an exhibition of books by and about him was held in the New York Public Library from April 2 to July 15, which was visited by over people. That exhibition was the basis on which the present work is founded. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare for Community Players The present volume is the outcome of many requests from amateur directors and players for advice on the stage presentation of Shakespeare In any other art, when such aid is asked, one is able to refer the inquirer to some book or another covering the ground This is not possible in the field of Shakespearean presentation, and very difficult in the whole department of amateur drama The probable reason for the dearth of handbooks is that the amateur player's serious invasion of the domain of the theatre is so recent that no library has yet grown up for him Assuming, therefore, that the need which I have discovered locally is a general one, I have prepared a discussion of theory and practice, which, I hope, will answer most of the questions which arise. The most difficult part of such a task has been to gauge the type of reader The ranks of community players to-day embrace groups which would seem very diverse both in aims and capacity There are, on the one hand, adult organisations, like Mr Poel's in London, which are revolutionising dramatic art, and on the other, those advanced teachers who are using the Shakespeare plays for the twofold purpose of developing powers of expression in their pupils, and of inculcating a real love for our finest dramatic literature. In such a case, the best course seemed to be to write for the beginner, and to allow the more advanced player to take what he needed and leave the rest In doing so, I proceeded in the perfect confidence that the true artist is always the readiest to study another mans statement of fundamentals The only reader, therefore, who has not been provided for in some measure, is the one who believes he knows everything and consequently has no need for any book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Hamlet, Intermixed and Interwoven With a Revised Version of Romeo and Juliet: The Combination Being Modernized, Re-Written and Wrought Out on New-Discovered Lines, as Indicated Under the Light of the Higher Criticism In deference to truth, it should be stated, at the outset, that Bacon did not write this play. All the signs indicate this fact. There is no need of going into detail. Bacon is not located as far back as - de-tail. However, let not the composition be despised if it should be shown that it is not the product of a sugar-cured author. It may turn out that it had an origin higher even than that. For, see: That which makes bacon is greater than the bacon it makes, and hence is greater than anything that the bacon it has made can make. This play was made by farmers. Farmers make bacon; and hence, even if their product had produced the play, by the stern laws of logic it could not have been as good as it is now.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Midsummer Night's Dream IN this edition of shakespeare an attempt is made to present the greater plays of the dramatist in their literary aspect, and not merely as material for the study of philology or grammar. Criticism purely verbal and textual has only been included to such an extent as may serve to help the student in the appreciation of the essential poetry. Questions of date and literary history have been fully dealt with in the Introductions, but the larger space has been devoted to the interpretative rather than the matter-of-fact order of scholar ship. Aesthetic judgments are never final, but the Editors have attempted to suggest points of view from which the analysis of dramatic motive and dramatic character may be profitably undertaken. In the Notes likewise, while it is hoped that all unfamiliar expressions and allusions have been adequately explained, yet it has been thought even more important to consider the dramatic value of each scene, and the part which it plays in relation to the whole. These general principles are common to the whole series in detail each Editor is alone responsible for the play or plays that have been intrusted to him. Every volume of the series has been provided with a Glossary, an Essay upon Metre, and an Index; and Appen dices have been added upon points of special interest, which could not conveniently be treated in the Introduction or the Notes. The text is based by the several Editors on that of the Globe edition: the only omissions made are those that are unavoidable in an edition likely to be used by young students.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Chronicle Play: A Study in the Popular Historical Literature Environing Shakespeare IN the following pages an attempt has been made to tell the history of one of the many and various strands which, twisted and interwoven, form the brilliant and heterogeneous Elizabethan Drama. There is always a danger in thus seeking to separate what in reality is part of an integral whole; for not only was the Eng lish Chronicle Play deeply inﬂuenced by the wealth of literature in other forms which dealt with the gene ral subject of English history, but it inﬂuenced and was in turn affected by many other varieties of drama that ﬂourished simultaneously with it. None the less the Chronicle Play can be treated independently with greater justice than any other form of the drama; for whatever the superficial inﬂuences upon it, it retained from first to last a character essentially national and English.
