Description
Excerpt from Shakespeare Questions
IT would be easy to expect more from this book than it is designed to give. It offers little criticism or information and it is not intended for use to the exclusion of lectures, books of reference, or notes. Indeed, it avoids, in as far as possible, the material commonly found in these indispensable helps and guides to the study of Shakespeare. It cannot take the place of a gifted interpreter nor can it make the men and women of the plays live and move before an inert mind or a listless imagination. It is primarily analytical in method, and although much has been done in the general questions to insure a comprehensive view of each play, the work of final synthesis has been left, as it always must be left, to the individual student.
