The Genius of Shakespeare, and Other Essays (Classic Reprint) by William Frederick Osborne Pdf

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.

Memoirs of the Life of William Shakespeare by Richard Grant White Pdf

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life of William Shakespeare: With an Essay Toward the Expression of His Genius, and an Account of the Rise and Progress of the English Drama Collier's later work upon those subjects, by its ful ness and its systematic arrangement, supersedes all others, either for the use of the dramatic stu dent, or as a book of reference for the occasional inquirer. Yet the account of the English drama given in the following pages will be found to be something more, as well as something less, than an abridgment of Mr. Collier's three octavo vol nmes. These remarks apply only to the first and last divisions of this volume. The second, the Essay toward an Expression of Shakespeare's Genius, is the endeavor of one who, having read the poet much and his critics little, has thought his own thoughts and trusted his own judgment upon this subject, until, with a mingling of confidence and difi'idence which it would be difficult to explain, he now ventures to offer his conclusions as hints and aids to others; conscious the while that those who can judge them best are those who need them least.

The Life and Genius of Shakespeare (Classic Reprint) by Thomas Kenny Pdf

Excerpt from The Life and Genius of Shakespeare We believe that we need make no apology for the publication of this volume. We cannot, indeed, help fearing that Shakespearian criticism, in some, at least, of its forms, has already become an overgrown excrescence. But the very rapidity with which works succeed one another in illustration of the personal and literary history of the poet, shows that the curiosity which it excites is still unexhausted. The last word has evidently not yet been told upon this subject; and any new attempt to solve the riddle - as far as it admits of solution - of Shakespeare's life and genius, will still, no doubt, be judged upon its own merits. We do not know whether we have been able to make any really useful addition to the already unmanageable stores of this branch of our national literature; and that is a matter on which we have no desire to indulge in any idle conjectures. But there are some points connected with the mode in which we have executed the task we have undertaken, on which we wish at once to offer a few words of explanation. We have, first of all, to state that we make no pretension to any profound scholarship of any kind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

An Essay on the Writings and Genius of Shakespeare by Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson Montagu Pdf

Excerpt from An Essay on the Writings and Genius of Shakespeare: Compared With the Greek and French Dramatic Poets; With Some Remarks Upon the Misrepresentations of Mons; De Voltaire Mr. pope, in the preface to his edition of Shakspeare, sets out with declaring, that, of all English poets, this author offers the fullest and fairest subject for criticism. Animated by an opinion of such authority, some of the most learned and ingenious of our critics have made correct editions of his works, and enriched them with notes. The superiority of talents and learning, which I acknowledge in these editors, leaves me no room to entertain the vain presumption of attempting to correct any passages of this celebrated Author; but the whole, as corrected and elucidated by them, lies open to a thorough enquiry into the genius of our great English classic. Unprejudiced and candid judgment will be the surest basis of his fame. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Essays on Shakespeare (Classic Reprint) by Karl Elze Pdf

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.

The Ghost in Hamlet, and Other Essays in Comparative Literature (Classic Reprint) by Maurice Francis Egan Pdf

Excerpt from The Ghost in Hamlet, and Other Essays in Comparative Literature It is quite evident that Shakespeare's Hamlet owes almost everything, except illumination, the inexplicable synthetic quality of genius, to the Historie 'of Hamblet. A careful comparison will Show this, though it will reveal the marvellous transformation which mere material takes in the hand of the artist; as an example Of the relations of the chronicler to the poet, the power of com pilation to that of imaginative synthesis, and life to literature, it is even more apt than the study of the Morte Arthure of Sir Thomas Malory in comparison with the Idyls of the King.

Tolstoy on Shakespeare by Leo Tolstoy Pdf

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.
