Book Description
Excerpt from Essays on Shakespeare IT seems almost superfluous here to inform the reader that the author of these Essays on Shakespeare enjoys a wide reputation in Germany for his extensive re searches and studies in the English language and literature, as his name, within the last four years, has repeatedly been brought before the English public. The high estimation in which Dr. Elze is held in his own country is proved by his having been appointed in 1867 Editor of the 7aéréue/zer of the German Shakespeare Society, which are exclusively devoted to the study of our great poet.

Excerpt from Critical Essays on the Plays of Shakespeare The folly with which Stephano and Trinculo allow themselves to be diverted from their enterprise by the glittering frippery would, consciously or not, be heightened by recent note of the infatuated colonists, among whom, with failing supplies, there was no work, no talk, no hope, but dig gold, wash gold, refine gold, and from whom two ships had recently arrived, freighted with what was imagined by the adventurers to be the precious ore, and turned out to be talc!

Book Description
Excerpt from Eighteenth Century Essays on Shakespeare This false attitude to the eighteenth century had its nemesis in the belief that we were awakened by foreigners to the greatness of Shakespeare. Even one so eminently sane as Hazlitt lent support to this opinion. We will confess, says the Preface to the Characters of Sfiakespeare's Plays, that some little jealousy of the character of the national understanding was not without its share in producing the following undertaking, for we were piqued that it should be reserved for a foreign critic to give reasons for the faith which we English have in Shakespeare; and the whole Preface resolves itself, however reluctantly, into praise of Schlegel and censure of Johnson. When a thorough Englishman writes thus, it, is not surprising that Germany should have claimed to be the first to give Shakespeare his true place. The heresy has been exposed; but even the slightest investi gation of eighteenth - century opinion, or the mere recollection of what Dryden had said, should have pre vented its rise. Though Hazlitt took upon himself the defence of the national intelligence, he incorporated in his Preface a long passage from Schlegel, because, in his opinion, no English critic had shown like enthusiasm or philosophical acuteness. We cannot regret the delusion if we owe to it the C/zaracters of Skatespeare's Plays, but his patriotic task would have been easier, and might even have appeared unnecessary, had he known that many of Schlegel's acute and enthusiastic observations had been anticipated at home.

Excerpt from Tolstoy on Shakespeare: A Critical Essay on Shakespeare Altho I know that the majority of people so firmly believe in the greatness of Shakespeare that in reading this judgment of mine they will not admit even the possibility of its justice, and will not give it the slightest attention, nevertheless I will endeavor, as well as I can, to show why I believe that Shakespeare can not be recognized either as a great genius, or even as an average author. For illustration of my purpose I will take one of Shakespeare's most extolled dramas, King Lear, in the enthusiastic praise of which, the majority of critics agree.

Excerpt from An Essay Upon the Ghost Belief of Shakespeare To disbelieve in the Objective Reality of Spiritual Appearances in general is the rule of the present age and is conceived to be one of the marks and consequences of its intellectual progression; and therefore is it we think, to be accounted for, that the above subject has never (at least as far as is known) been treated of. Most of Shakespeare's admirers doubtless imagine that such an intellect as his, could never have given credence to a Ghost; nor are they very curious to ask, how it was, on Artistic grounds, that the greatest Poet should have produced what many think his greatest work, upon a supernatural theme, or, in other words, upon a theme whose basis is either Nervous Disease, Credulity, or Imposture; for into some one of these things are all Ghosts now resolved.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Genius of Shakespeare, and Other Essays Shakespeare impresses us rather as a phenomenon than as a man. John Morley has used language of this kind in regard to Voltaire; but it seems to me far more eminently applicable to Shakespeare. The meaning is that when we come to appreciate such men, we shall think and speak of them as we ordinarily think and speak of great historical movements involving large masses of men. Unquestionably Shakespeare does produce this effect upon us. He is not merely first, with some other man like Spenser or Milton second; he is something apart, quite sui generis.

Book Description
Excerpt from Essays on Education, English Studies, and Shakespeare In the present stage of Shakespearian study, I suppose it would hardly do, even in a book designed for school use, to leave the matter of textual comment and textual correction altogether untouched. Accordingly there will be found, at the end of the play, a body of critical Norm, wherein I have drawn together whatever seemed necessary or desirable to be said in the way of textual criticism, and of comment on such particulars of textual correction as are here admitted. In doing this, I have almost unavoidably been led to note a few instances of different readings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
