About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1900 edition.

Let us add, too, that the doctrine of heredity, as v understood in a modern age, has little or nothing to do with Shakespeare's problems. It is a doctrine, right or wrong, born of contemporary science, and although it has a very definite influence upon the sphere of tragedy, we must not seek to read it into an Elizabethan age, or into the mind even of the greatest poet in the world.

I refer to it again, because it bears directly on the poet's treatment of the tragic heroes, and it has been often unduly ignored in the criticisms of commentators. Take, for instance, the brilliant chapters of Taine. If you had only this French critic to go by, you would imagine that Shakespeare was a man of unbridled passions, a Bohemian of Bohemians, an artist living only in his world of art, capable merely of viewing the facts of existence and the qualities of his characters from the purely aesthetic, emotional, imaginative side. A German critic, on the other hand, so far as I can see, is mainly occupied with the attempt to show that Shakespeare was a man of considerable common sense, usually pointing a definite moral, and so little able to find inspiration in his own genius that he was always being moved to write because of some definite incident that happened to him in the course of his life. Does he write joyous comedies? That is because he was taken up by the Court, and saw before his eyes bright and fashionable...
