Choice or plot. - Until quite recently the generally accepted point of view has been that Shakespeare con ceived and created his plays in the same manner as modern playwrights do theirs. Even Brandes seems to imagine that his choice of certain subjects was principally conditioned by personal experience or by the suggestions derived from stories he had read. It is true that we are by no means acquainted with the genesis of all Shakespeare's dramas, and there is good reason to think that it was not the same in every case; still, we may take it for granted that our modern demand that the inspiration of the artist's work must be looked for in his own innermost experience was almost unknown in the Elizabethan era.

It makes no pretence to even proximate completeness. It seeks simply to single out, in the record of his life and work, what appears most vital to our understanding of both. In dealing with the separate plays, attention has been concentrated upon the cardinal situations and characters, without any systematic attempt to tell "the story" - a kind of dramatic extract in which a maximum of what Shakespeare borrowed is commonly combined with a minimum of what he gave. Fuller handling of the whole of Shakespeare's work, with discussion of the more salient critical problems here perforce ignored, will be found in the Introductions and Notes to the Eversley Shakespeare (Macmillan), edited by the present writer, an occasional phrase from which has been borrowed in the following pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of the Shakespeare Plays In a letter which appeared in "The Times" on 28th December, 1901, I suggested the following points relating to the authorship of the Shakespeare plays, as deserving thoughtful consideration. 1. According to Halliwell-Phillipps, Shakspere's most complete biographer, Shakspere, when he left Stratford at the age of twenty-one or twenty-three, was "all but destitute of polished accomplishments," and "could not have had the opportunity of acquiring a refined style of composition." 2. There is no evidence that he was addicted to study, but much to the contrary. 3. The plays show an acquaintance with Latin, Greek, Italian, French and Spanish ; and with many works in these different languages. 4. Also an exact knowledge of law, in its various branches, and of medicine, natural history, horticulture and natural philosophy, up to and beyond the limit of learning of the age. 5. One man there was, of surpassing genius, who, by laborious study, had acquired all these forms of knowledge Was there another who had attained exactly the Same various knowledge by intuition? 6. Macaulay, Shelley and Spedding recognize that the poetical faculty was powerful in Bacon's mind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shakespeare's plays provide a rich source of genre variation as well as moral or ethical issues that invite deep study. The genre issue often proves the very moral crux where Shakespeare raises the most complex questions. He aimed to build good plays, not simple fulfillments of genre demands. To him "good plays" meant leaving his audience with problems to consider. This book begins with those works most commonly appearing in studies of problem plays, The Merchant of Venice, Troilus and Cressida, All's Well That Ends Well, Measure for Measure; moves to some comedic problem plays, Much Ado About Nothing, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Twelfth Night; and then to tragic problem plays, Hamlet, Othello, and King Lear. It concludes with some problems in the history and romance genres for the issues they raise in love, adventure, and governance: Henry IV, Part 1, Henry V, Cymbeline, The Tempest, and Love's Labor's Lost.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tempest The date of The Tempest is one of the most vexed problems Of Shakespearean criticism, and cannot be fixed with complete cer tainty. The play was printed for the first time, as far as we know, in the collected edition of Shakespeare's works, 1623, known as the First Folio. Thus all conclusions as to its date must be based upon any existing records in connection with performances, upon internal evidence, or upon conjectural allusions in contemporary writings.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Death of King John The question of the exact year - even the month - wherein each of shakespeare's plays was written was, for the earliest editors, one of singular interest. Any passage which might be supposed to refer, even remotely, to an event of the historic days of shakespeare's life in London was eagerly seized upon as a means to settle the question once for all. This is termed internal evidence; again, manifest allusions to the play, or parts of it, by contemporary writers are taken as external evidence. In later years much time has been expended in classifying the plays ac cording to the structure of the verse; this belongs also to the class of internal evidence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These articles, reprinted from various volumes of Shakespeare Survey, concern three plays which have gradually become appreciated by critics and in the theatre. Since the early years of this century they have been seen as an interrelated group, with a peculiarly twentieth-century appeal. Measure for Measure, concerned as it is with adolescents' first encounters with sex, love and death, has a special appeal for young people; Troilus and Cressida, set in the Trojan War, has been found deeply relevant to our own war-troubled times; and All's Well That Ends Well, sharing these preoccupations, is a necessary companion piece. John Barton, who has directed all three plays, is interviewed in one of the articles, which together illustrate the often heated controversy about the plays. Reviews and photographs of post-war productions at Stratford are also included. The book as a whole is designed as a stimulating introduction to these plays and to conflicting interpretations of them.

Critical comments ON the play [from Mzz/z'tt's C/zaraftc'rs (f S/ml'espear's Plays. Shakespear has in this play shown himself well versed in history and state affairs. Como/aims is a storehouse of polit ical commonplaces. The arguments for and against aristocracy or democracy, on the privileges Of the few and the claims of the many, on liberty and Slavery, power and the abuse of it, peace and war, are here very ably handled, with the Spirit Of a poet and the acuteness of a philosopher. Shakespear himself seems to have had a leaning to the ar bitrary side of the question, perhaps from some feeling of contempt for his own origin, and to have spared no occasion of bating the rabble. What he says of them is very true; what he says of their Oetters is also very true, though he dwells less upon it. The cause of the people is indeed but little calculated as a Subject for poetry: it admits of rhetoric, which goes into argument and explanation, but it presents no immediate or distinct images to the mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Shakespeare Canon Old doubts as to the possibility of getting attention for such inquiries have been partly removed by the welcome emergence, in this field, of Messrs. Pollard and Dover Wilson, who in 1919 asked the readers of the Times Literary Supplement whether Shakespeare was likely to write in 1599 in the manner of certain passages cited by them from henry V. The same challenge may as fitly be put with regard to much of julius cesar. After many more revisions, accordingly, I have since decided to table certain discussions as putting some of the more prominent problems that have arisen for me in Shakespeare study, the origination of henry V being one of them. Others have been set forth in previous essays these, which before were but outlined, are now handled at some - I hope not undue length, after a renewed pilgrimage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All's Well That Ends Well is one of Shakespeare's most beguiling plays. It is a comedy, yet seems to lack maturity in its development and tacks on a somewhat truncated ending. For these reasons, along with lines in the play, some speculate that it is actually a "lost play," a companion for Love's Labor Lost, which would have been entitled Love's Labor Won. A lost play is one that lacked Shakespeare's final revisions. The protagonist of All's Well That Ends Well is the beautiful Helena, who pursues Bertram, a man well above her station at the French court of Rousillon. Bertram is in mourning for his late father, but he is also a cad with no redeeming traits. When Helena saves the King and is given her choice of husband, she chooses Bertram, but he refuses her unless she can put a ring on his finger and produce an heir. Many hijinks ensue, including the infamous bed trick. Shakespeare drew upon multiple sources for the play, including most directly William Painter's Palace of Pleasure, and one of the tales from Boccaccio's The Decameron. The title is a reference to the Biblical proverb, which means that the problems during the journey are meaningless so long as the eventual outcome ends well. Helena's love for Bertram is puzzling because Bertram is one of the Bard's most unlikeable characters. However, the conflict between the wonderful Helena and the awful Bertram is what drives the reader to finish the play. For Shakespeare scholars, theater buffs and students, All's Well That Ends Well is a mystery worth pursuing.
