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.

Yet the text in the theater changed constantly in front of different venues and audiences. Stephen Orgel examines what happens to plays when they become books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
