Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's True Life While admitting the great debt of all lovers of Shakespeare to Phillips in the matter of Shakespearean research, we cannot but regret that his accumulative power should have vastly exceeded his discrimination. He tells us not to rely on statements where unsupported by corroborative evidence. In regard, however, to traditions current in villages around Stratford, he attaches great importance to such as include reference to facts or conditions which have been verified by modern inquiry, but which could only have been known to the narrators through hearsay. The same indefatigable writer admits that Shakespeare may have been secretly married to Anne Hathaway according to Roman Catholic form, yet failed to trace the fact of a religious ceremonial union such as the writer hopes he has satisfactorily shown to have been solemnized in the Shottery Manor House Chantry. The happy union of the descendant and living representative of the Thane of Fife with the fair daughter of Britain's Royal House standing next in succession to the throne, a family of which both parents, like our beneficent Sovereign herself, are bound up in the hearts of the nation with a respect and depth of affection to which history affords no parallel, seems a specially fitting occasion for an endeavour to place the greatest of all authors fairly before his readers, now denizens of the whole civilized world. Shakespeare has made the English-speaking race everywhere familiar with the facts in the regal lineage of Fife and Macduff. The mighty limner is the historian. Memory recalls the defeat of Macbeth at Dunsinane in the far-back year 1054, and of the after battle at Lumphanan, in Aberdeenshire, in 1056, in which Macbeth was taken and slain, and Macduff restored to his ancient earldom, with the privileges confirmed by the grateful Malcolm of the big heart as well as of the big head. The Macduffs continued to reign in Fifeshire till the beginning of the fifteenth century. For three centuries they have maintained a semi-regal position, formed alliances with the Royal Houses of England, Scotland, and Wales, and held a prominent place in the national life of the country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Life of William Shakespeare The materials for a life of Shakespeare have been gradu-a ally assembled by the industry of hundreds Of scholars, extending through more than two centuries; and prob ably little new matter Of importance remains to be dis covered, except through a happy, and at present quite unforeseen, accident. The arduous labors of Professor and Mrs. Wallace in the manuscript archives of England, during the course Of which they examined over a million documents, recently yielded some fresh information; yet the small number Of their finds assures us that nearly all that we are likely to know Of the personal affairs of the great dramatist has already been made pub lic. This stagnation in discovery is perhaps responsible for the tendency, especially marked in the last decade, for writers to deal in fanciful speculation, evolving from Slight evidence, or none worthy of the name, bizarre and Often elaborately detailed hypotheses regarding Shake speare's relations with his contemporaries. But the re sults Of such ingenuity are likely to be as perilous as they are unsubstantial, and for the most part must be ignored by the biographer. On the other hand, some valuable information is now being derived from a study, largely bibliographical, Of the origin of the Shakespearean texts, and of their transmission to us through the medium of the playhouse and the press. True, much remains to be done in this field Of endeavor before absolutely final conclusions are established, yet the main facts which alone are needed for a general biography are already clear.

It has always been a monstrous sentimental bubble blown out of something dead that was once grand. Man's true empire is not in continents nor over the sea, but within himself, in his own soul. Here in London, where a worldly empire is con trolled, there exists no theatre in which the millions can see that other empire. They pass from one grey street to another grey street, to add up figures, or to swallow patent medicines, with no thought that life has been lived nobly, and burningly and knightly, for great ends, and in great passions, as the vision of our great mind declares.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from William Shakespeare: His Homes and Haunts In telling the story of Shakespeare's life and work within strict limits of space, an attempt has been made to keep closely to essential matters. There is no period of the poet's life, there is no branch of his marvellous work, that has not been the subject of long and learned volumes, no single play that has not been discussed at greater length than serves here to cover the chief incidents of work and life together. If the Homes and Haunts do not claim the greater part of the following pages, it is because nobody knows where to find them to-day. Stratford derives much of its patronage from unsupported traditions, the face of London has changed, and though we owe to the painstaking researches of Dr. Chas. Wm. Wallace the very recent discovery that the poet lodged with a wig-maker named Mountjoy at the corner of Silver and Monkwell Streets in the City of London, much labour must be accomplished before we shall be able to follow his wanderings between the time of his arrival in and departure from the metropolis. For the purposes of this little book many authorities have been consulted, and the writer is specially indebted to the researches of Dr. Sidney Lee, the leading authority of our time on Shakespeare, and the late Professor Churton Collins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a study of the changing images and differing ways that the life of English poet and playwright William Shakespeare (1564-1616) has been interpreted throughout history. The author takes readers on a tour of the countless myths and legends which have arisen to explain the great dramatist's life and work, bringing the story right up to 1989. He reconstructs as much of the elusive author's life as possible, considering his family history, his economic standing, and his reputation with his peers; the Shakespeare who emerges may not always be the familiar one.
