In the present reissue errors have been corrected, the bibliographies have been brought up to date, and some additions of importance have been made to the bibliographical information. I hope that, with the additions and corrections that are now incorporated into the text or notes, the volumes embodies the results of all recent researches into Shakespeare's life, or into the biographical or bibliographical aspects of his work, about which the student of the poet's biography is entitled to expect information from the poet's biographer. A few references to Shakespeare have lately come to light for the first time in contemporary manuscripts. I have not found it practicable to note these discoveries in detail in the body of the revised book without disturbing the balance of the chapters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of William Shakespeare: Expurgated PROLOGUE "It seems a kind of respect due to the memory of excellent men, especially of those whom their wit and learning have made famous, to deliver some account of themselves, as well as of their works, to posterity. For this reason, how fond do we see some people of the great men of antiquity; their families, the common accidents of their lives, and even their shape, make, and features have been the subject of critical enquiries. How trifling soever this curiosity may seem to be, it is certainly very natural; and we are hardly satisfied with an account of any remarkable person till we have heard him described to the very clothes he wears. As for what relates to men of letters, the knowledge of an author may sometimes conduce to the better understanding of his book, and though the works of Mr. Shakespeare may seem to many not to want a comment, yet I fancy some little account of the man himself may not be thought improper."-From Nicholas Rowe's Account of the Life of Shakespeare, 1709. "I have not sought, (7 say) nor do I seek either to force or ensnare men's judgments, but I lead them to things themselves and the concordances of things, that they may see for themselves what they have, what they can dispute, what they can add and contribute to the common stock.

Download or read book Shakespeare s Life and Work written by Sidney Lee and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Life and Work: Being an Abridgment, Chiefly for the Use of Students, of a Life of William Shakespeare This work is a reprint, with some omissions and abbreviations, of the author's 'Life of William Shakespeare, ' and is designed for the use of students and general readers who seek a complete and accurate account of the great dramatists career and achievement in a small space at a moderate cost. The aim of the volume is to present, in language as terse and definite as possible, the net results of trustworthy research respecting Shakespeare's life and writings. In regard to topics of controversy the author confines himself to a statement of his final conclusions, and ventures to refer to the unabbreviated editions of the book all who desire to examine the grounds on which those conclusions are based. The footnotes in the larger editions give ample references to original authorities and discuss in detail points of doubt and difficulty; but although these footnotes are now omitted, the more pertinent pieces of illustrative information which they contain are incorporated in the present text. In accordance, too, with the distinctive scheme of this volume, the chapters which in former editions dealt at length with the character and significance of Shakespeare's sonnets have been greatly abridged, and those sections of the Appendix which were deemed essential to the exhaustive discussion of the subject have been excluded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of William Shakespeare: Including Many Particulars Respecting the Poet and His Family Never Before Published The tide of public curiosity in matters of Shakespearian enquiry has of late years set almost exclusively in the direction of biography; the minutest facts respecting the personal history of the World's Poet receiving more attention, and creating wider discussion, than the happiest illustrations of the great works on which his reputation is established. It is not difficult to assign a reason for this preference, for, although the higher branches of criticism are undoubtedly more important, perhaps, even, when fully understood, more interesting and attractive, biographical disquisitions have the advantage of being readily appreciated by all; and, as Shakespeare was the most eminent genius the world has ever produced, it is not surprising that details of his existence, information of his reality when he lived and moved as one of ourselves, should be sought for with so much avidity. We should also recollect that minute historical researches never appear to so great advantage, nor are they productive of so much utility, as when they tend to unfold the private actions and characters of those great men whose deeds or works have exercised beneficial influences on the progress of mankind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook to the Works of William Shakespeare His Handbook to Shakespeare offers in one volume the critical and explanatory helps that must otherwise be sought from many books. As far as possible, it embodies all recent research and, like the author's Handbook to Tennyson, aims at illustrating principles while it supplies information. References are made to the Globe Edition of Shake speare's works; and for the duration of dramatic action I am indebted to Mr. Daniel's time analysis of the plays. As on former occasions, my best thanks are due to Mr. W. J. Lias, late Scholar of Jesus College, Cambridge, for his kindness in revising the proofs; I have also to thank the Rev. Tabor Davies, m.a., for similar help, and for compiling the Index. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sir Sidney Lee's New Edition of a Life of William Shakespeare: Some Words of Criticism Whereunto I would crave leave to suggest, in the first place, that any question of this kind, if such there be, must be decided not by "authority" but by evidence and argument. But, secondly, may not the "sceptics" fairly retort that there are certain literary writers who, though they undertake to instruct us concerning Shakespeare's knowledge of law, "lack the required" legal "training to give their work on the subject any genuine authority"? Upon this latter point I would ask permission to say a few words. "Lord Campbell," writes Sir Sidney Lee, "who greatly exaggerated Shakespeare's legal knowledge in his Shakespeare's Legal Acquirements (1859), was the first writer to insist on Shakespeare's personal connection with the law." Now Lord Campbell, as everybody knows, was Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, and, subsequently, Lord Chancellor. Whether or not he "greatly exaggerated Shakespeare's legal knowledge" is, I venture to suggest, a question which can hardly be decided with "any genuine authority" by a literary man without legal training.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from William Shakespeare: His Homes and Haunts To study the life history of a man and to consider its setting is to understand why he succeeded and how he came to fail, and our wonder at his success will not be lessened when we find that some simple event, favourable or untoward, was the deciding factor in a great life. The hour brings the man, but circumstances mould him and chance leads him to the fore, unless it be true that there's a Divinity that shapes our ends, rough hew them how we will. In our own time we have seen how the greatest empire-builder of Victorian history, Cecil John Rhodes, came into prominence because he was sent to South Africa for the cure of weak lungs. And, looking back to the life and times of William Shakespeare, who has summed up for so many of his fellow-countrymen, and still more strangers, the whole philosophy of life, we shall see that he became articulate through what he may have reasonably regarded as mischance.
