Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ten More Plays of Shakespeare The scenery is less marked than it is in Twelfth Night or in As You Like It. It is of a palazzo and a garden, with pleached alleys, arbours, and an orchard; and the rest is placed in a church and the streets of Messina. Of late, it has been (like many other Shakespeare plays) made into a most spectacular affair, and this is a great mistake. When dances and elaborate pageantry and fanciful additions are crowded into it, the spectacle devours the drama; the soul of Shakespeare seems to fly out of the words, the inter-play of the characters tends to be swamped, their thought and passion to be overlaid; and we say to ourselves How much better it were could I but read this play at home in a pleasant twilight.'
