It was his wish, in dwelling upon the rural loveliness and the literary and historical associations of that delightful realm, to afford sympathetic guidance and useful suggestion to other American travelers who, like himself, might be attracted to roam among the shrines of the mother land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The England of Shakespeare The prophecy has been fearfully falsified. We should like to hear an expression of the Professor's views at the present time. Probably he has joined the pleasant company of other German writers, inebriated with their arrogance, who maintain that our poet has left his native shore and sought an asylum and an enduring home in the Fatherland. One of our greatest authorities on Shakespeare, Sir Sidney Lee, has well said, We welcome the homage which Germany pays Shakespeare. We treat that homage as a tribute, in whatever spirit rendered, to poetic genius and power which are essentially English. The German homage to Shake speare is an involuntary confession. There are lessons which Shakespeare can teach that the Germans have yet to learn, and we can wish nothing better for them and for ourselves than that they should supply the defect at an early date.

Download or read book Shakespeare and England Classic Reprint written by Sir Walter Raleigh and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare and England There is nothing new and important to be said of Shakespeare. In recent years antiquaries have made some additions to our know ledge of the facts of his life. These additions are all tantalizing and comparatively insignificant. The history of the publication of his works has also become clearer and more intelligible, especially by the labours of Mr. Pollard; but the whole question of quartos and folios remains thorny and difficult, so that no one can reach any definite conclusion in this matter without a liberal use of conjecture. I propose to return to the old catholic doctrine which has been illuminated by so many disciples of Shakespeare, and to speak of him as our great national poet. He embodies and exemplifies all the virtues, and most of the faults, of England. Any one who reads and understands him understands England. This method of studying Shakespeare by reading him has perhaps gone somewhat out of vogue in favour of more roundabout ways of approach, but it is the best method for all that. Shakespeare tells us more about himself and his mind than we could learn even from those who knew him in his habit as he lived, if they were all alive and all talking. To learn what he tells we have only to listen. I think there is no national poet, of any great nation whatsoever, who is so completely representative of his own people as Shake speare is representative of the English. There is certainly no other English poet who comes near to Shakespeare in embodying our character and our foibles. No one, in this connexion, would venture even to mention Spenser or Milton. Chaucer is English, but he lived at a time when England was not yet completely English, so that he is only half-conscious of his nation. Wordsworth is English, but he was a recluse. Browning is English, but he lived apart or abroad, and was a tourist of genius. The most English of all our great men of letters, next to Shakespeare, is certainly Dr. Johnson.

Download or read book English History in Shakespeare s Plays Classic Reprint written by Beverley E. Warner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-23 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English History in Shakespeare's Plays This volume had its origin in a course of lectures on the study of history as illustrated in the plays of Shakespeare. It is never safe to assume that what has been listened to with attention will be read with interest. The lectures, however, have been recast, pruned, and amplified, and much machinery has been added in the way of tables of contents, bibliography, chronological tables, and index. With such helps it is hoped that these pages may effect a working part nership between the Chronicle of the formal historian and the Epic of the dramatic poet. They are ad dressed especially to those readers and students of English History who may not have discovered what an aid to the understanding of certain important phases of England's national development lies in these histor ical plays, which cover a period of three hundred years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Stories of the English Kings It is inevitable, in retelling the stories of Shakespeare's English Kings, that we should recall the names of Charles and Mary Lamb. These gifted authors are associated immortally with Shakespeare, and their Tales must remain a classic for youthful readers, to whom a simple prose rendering is of great value as an introduction to the genius of our greatest poet. The Histories, however, were not included in the Tales, hence there is opportunity for an endeavour to provide a prose version of this attractive section of the great plays. Beginning with the period before the Roman invader came to our shores, and passing through the times of Plantagenet and Tudor to the opening days of Elizabeth, Shakespeare has presented in his wonderful series an almost complete view of the great figures of English history, indicating with a sure touch the movements, crises, and turning-points of our national development. The canvas is a crowded one, but there is no superfluous figure, and from the king to the peasant he holds the mirror of genius up to Nature and reflects life. The inner significance has been well indicated by Walter Pater. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Literature During the Lifetime of Shakespeare The following pages attempt to tell once more, and as far as possible at first hand, the fascinating story of Elizabethan literature. But the tale has been somewhat compressed to treat what preceded the birth of Shakespeare with brevity, and what followed his death merely by indications and sug gestions. This compression has seemed the more justifiable because Shakespeare's own work, thus contemplated in what surrounded it, gives to the subject a closer unity, and because the transition from literature, as an Elizabethan conceived and practised it, to what it came to be regarded in the time of Charles I, was well on its way by the year 1616.

This, however, is not always the case, and that more use has not been made, for instance, of the work of Greene is to be set down to the fact that interesting passages are not easily detachable from the main body of his text. In collecting material for this scrap-book, l have in all cases given the reference to those specimens which are at once entertaining an complete in themselves. The majority of the extracts, it should be added, have been taken from books or documents written between I 564 and 1616, the dates of Shakespeare's birth and death, out of the sixty-nine used only four being earlier and some half dozen later than this period.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our English Homer: Or Shakespeare Historically Considered The prevalent notion that Shakespeare was a poet, who owed little or nothing to education and everything to original genius, is the opinion that was for many years entertained regarding Homer. And the opinion seems to have obtained among some, from the early days of the seventeenth century. Thus we have it on the authority of Nicholas Rowe that "In a conversation between Sir John Suckling, Sir William D'Avenant, Endymion Porter, Mr. Hales of Eton and Ben Jonson, Sir John Suckling, who was a professed admirer of Shakspeare, had undertaken his defence against Ben Jonson with some warmth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare and the Founders of Liberty in America In this period of conflict, the sternest that the world has known, when we have joined heart and hand with Great Britain, it may profit Americans to recall how essentially at one with Englishmen we have always been in everything that counts. That the speech, the poetry, of the race are ours and theirs in common, we know - they are Shakespeare. But that the institutions, the law and the liberty, the democracy administered by the fittest, are not only theirs and ours in common, but are derived from Shakespeare's England, and are Shakespeare, too, we do not generally know or, if we have known, we do not always remember. "Shakespeare and the Founders of Liberty in America!" exclaims the genial humorist. "What does the man mean? - That Shakespeare hobnobbed with Washington or helped Jefferson write the Declaration of Independence?"
