Fact and Fiction About Shakespeare

Fact and Fiction About Shakespeare With Some Account of the Playhouses, Players, and Playwrights of His Period (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Fact and Fiction About Shakespeare With Some Account of the Playhouses, Players, and Playwrights of His Period So many attempts have been made to pom tray the character of William Shakespeare and elucidate the text of his works, so much material has been collected and published by explorers in the field of Shakespearean lore, that little remains to be recorded by later chroniclers. In this account of the great dramatic poet and i)layer, I fear I must rely for interest more upon the manner in which I have marshalled my gleanings than upon the matter gleaned. Of no man has so much that is unreliable been waitten as about William Shakespeare. He lias been painted as a flawless divinity devoid of those traits we attribute to common humanity, and he has been depicted as a slothful drunkard with Falstaffian proclivities. That which I have written has been restricted to recorded evidences, and inspired by such information as I have acquired in the com se of a labour of love. And if, by my narrative, I have directed any person how to become better acquainted with Shakespeares work, and have thus awakened a corresponding enthusiasm for the author of some of the noblest and most beautiful thoughts in the English language, I shall, in some small measm-e, have repaid the deep debt of gratitude I owe to our ever-lidng poet.
