Book Description
Excerpt from Shakespeare and Germany And this is the poet whom Germans claim as their own, and delight to honour with a tercentenary celebra tion - the poet who ignores them except on two marked occasions, when he stops and turns aside from his dramatic beat to abuse and insult them! Surely when they have examined him a little more closely they will give second thoughts a chance and cancel their Shake speare anniversary festival. Why should they honour and fete him when he discovers such a cordial antipathy to his hosts, and is so evidently determined to make things unpleasant at his own birthday party? It shows a new and unsuspected vein of rare generosity in the German character, thus to honour and kindly treat their enemy. Why should they do it? Except that after the war they may be able to boast that they treated with magnanimity at least one hapless Englishman who fell into their hands. But can the Germans suppose that if Shakespeare were alive to-day, he would use them ex cept for his wash-pot, and to cast over them the shoe of his angry derision?

Book Description
Excerpt from The England of Shakespeare Shakespeare is known and read of all men, especially at the present time. He lived in what has been called a Great Age, and great it was in many ways which I have attempted to show in these pages. He reflects more than any one else the thought and spirit of that age. If we would understand his writings, his spirit, his humanity, it is necessary to know something about his times, the people he used to meet, the social customs that prevailed, the England he loved. He took a keen interest in the events of his period, and in the lives and characters of those who dwelt around him. He had great sympathy for ordinary common folk. He knew how "to suffer fools gladly." The stupidity of Dogberry and Verges, the swaggering of the swashbuckler, the sturdy yeoman and farmer, the merchant and the labourer, the ale-wife and the milkmaid, all interested him. He loved to draw out their old stories and to read their characters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from William Shakespeare: A Literary Biography Is herewith offered to the English public, was published in Germany as early as 1876, and has there passed through several editions. The edition from which the present translation has been made has been specially revised and improved by the author for the English version. Dr. Elze's work has won the reputation in Germany of giving the fullest informa tion on everything that is known in connection with Shake speare's life, his works, and his surroundings, together with a careful criticism of all the disputed points. It has been one of the author's endeavours to make his book a readable one in every way, and to retain his reader's atten tion from beginning to end by giving his information as far as possible in a consecutive narrative, without allowing this form in any way to affect the critical character to which his work may justly lay claim. English students of Shakespeare and his times cannot but be interested in seeing the results of Shakespearean study in Germany, and it is hoped that this volume from one of the leading German interpreters of Eng.

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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Shakespeare Collection: From the Gift of Walter Wehle Naumburg (Class of 1889) Of New York It is difficult for publishers nowadays to find a feature not already represented by the enterprise of predecessors in all the possible forms of publication of Shakespeare's Dramas, but we have noted one very excellent form of Shakespeare's works entirely unrepresented in library shape, viz.: the edition such as Dr. Johnson a hundred years ago I recommended as the best, in the following words: "Those who wish to become acquainted with Shakespeare for the first time, and who desire the fullest pleasure that the drama can give, should read every play, from the first scene to the last, with utter negligence of all his commentators. When fancy is once on the wing it should not stoop at correction or explanation. Particular passages may be cleared by notes; but the general effect is weakened by the interruption. Obscurities and niceties may be investigated when time permits and inclination prompts; but from beginning to end it is best and safest to allow Shakespeare to speak for himself." Acting on this sage advice, we have adopted the text of Johnson and Steevens as revised by Clark and Wright, and give the complete works of Shakespeare in their unabridged and perfect purity in seven handy volumes, and in case of any reader needing explanation or reference, we have added a thorough Glossary of obscure words and phrases.

Book Description
Excerpt from Five Lectures on Shakespeare Shakespeare myth has been spoken of; but whoever uses this expression to-day has an entirely different thing in his mind from what was meant by it thirty or forty years ago. When that worthy German Shakespeare scholar, my honored teacher, Nicolas Delius, issued a publication in 185! Under the title The Myth of Shakespeare, the thought of ventilating the problem which shall engage us today was far from his mind. His object was simply to examine the mass of reports and stories which had found their way into the traditional biographies of Shakespeare, with regard to the testimony brought to bear upon them and their inner worth; to separate the true from the false, the established from the doubtful, in order to obtain a reliable, if meager, sketch of Shakespeare's life.
