Book Description
Excerpt from Notes and Essays on Shakespeare Seeing our dearth of information about Shakespeare is so great, nothing that may be of the slightest value ought to be neglected; and so it may be worth while to consider what scenes and sights may have been familiar to him in his journeyings to and fro from Stratford to London. The transit can be accomplished now in four or five hours; but it was no such light matter in the Elizabethan age. The distance is some 100 miles (by Oxford 94), and probably under ordinary circumstances would occupy four or five days to traverse, though no doubt, under pressure, a less time might suffice. These periods would certainly form notable epochs in the poet's life. What a change from "the smoke and uproar and riches of Rome"! No doubt he would seldom travel alone. Perils from robbers were too common and too serious to encourage that practice. But yet he would often be lonely enough; and many a thought after wards embodied in immortal shape must have occurred to him during these long hours.

Book Description
Excerpt from Johnson on Shakespeare: Essays and Notes Selected, and Set Forth The history of Johnson's dealings with Shakespeare extends over the greater part of his working life. An edition of Shakespeare was the earliest of his larger literary schemes. In 1745, when he was earning a scanty living by work for the booksellers, he published a pamphlet entitled Miscellaneous Observations on the Tragedy of Macbeth, with remarks on Sir T. H.'s (Sir Thomas Hanmer's) Edition of Shakespeare. To this pamphlet, says Boswell, he affixed proposals for a new edition by himself. He had certainly announced these proposals in the advertisements, but no copy of the pamphlet can be found which contains them. It seems likely that after he had advertised his intention, he was discouraged, and changed his mind. When he first thought of editing Shakespeare, he believed that he had only Rowe and Pope and Theobald to contend with and to supersede. Then, while his notes on Macbeth were in the press, Hanmer's edition appeared, and it became known to him that the great Warburton was engaged on the same task. Johnson allowed the specimen of his projected edition to go forward, but probably did not print any formal proposals. If any were printed, they are lost. The proposals of 1756 cannot have been written at this earlier date, for in them Johnson speaks, with a certain pride, of his labours on the Dictionary.

Book Description
Excerpt from Essays on Shakespeare and His Works: From the Mss; And Notes of a Deceased Relative The Essays contained in this volume I am editing are almost entirely founded on the mss. And notes of a deceased relative. They are the work of an author of culture, of high classical attainments, a traveller and a man of the world. They do not profess to be more than their name implies: a criticism of Shakespeare and his works, and not of the drama of the Elizabethan era; nor do they endeavour to compete with the writings of the learned and able men who in these days have devoted themselves to the study of our greatest poet. Before the Public Service took me away to the wildest of foreign lands, I was myself an ardent student of Shakespeare, and therefore I was indeed deeply interested when I read these Essays, which in general accorded so completely with my views, though in minor points I occasionally hesitated to accept them. They came into my hands in a very disordered state, and I fear that although I have taken great pains in arranging them they are still not as presentable as I had hoped.

Book Description
Excerpt from Notes, Criticism, and Correspondence Upon Shakespeare's Plays and Actors The sketches and essays which occupy the follow ing pages, necessarily partaking more or less of a personal character - the author so often Speaking of his own experience or observations - there would seem to be required no further preface at his hands. He cannot, however, neglect to avail himself of the time-honored privilege of saying a word to the reader, were it only to exchange the customary form of salu tation when meeting. For he would have his book regarded not as an elaborate attempt at authorship to which he makes no pretensions - but in the spirit of a familiar and friendly, yet earnest conversation, when one is listened to with partiality, as he discourses upon topics of admitted interest, or revises the traits of those whom the world has been accustomed to admire.

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!

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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Shakespeare's Sonnets: Edited, With Notes I have given special attention to Mr. Lee's theories of the Sonnets, partly because he has developed and defended them at such length in his Life of Shakespeare (quite out of proportion to the space allotted to other controverted questions of importance), and partly be cause his book is, in most other respects, so scholarly and authoritative. As in all cases where I disagree with other authors, I have endeavoured to state Mr. Lee's opinions and arguments fairly - generally in his own words - and as fully as the space at my command would permit.
