Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 2: Prose and Verse Dear Sir, - As there appears to be a revived zeal for commentatorship on Shakspeare, I may be perhaps allowed to roll my tub among the rest; and the first service I wish to perform is to rid, or at least to give some reasons for ridding, all future editors of a superfluous swelling in the shape of Dr. Farmer´s Essay on the Learning of Shakspeare, which has long been a regular encumbrance on the variorum editions. In the subjoined letter, if you will be so good as to print it, your readers, who I hope are in number equal to the whole reading public of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Colonies, - "From sunny Indus to the Pole, - will find my reasons for not thinking highly of the Master of Emmanuel, or his Shakspearian labours. The critical clique to which he belonged was peculiarly absurd; and we have only to cast a glance upon his face, as preserved in an engraving by Harding, to see that the feeble smirk of fatheaded and scornful blockheadism self-satisfied, with that peddling pedantry of the smallest order which entitled its possessor to look down with patronising pity on the loftiest genius, is its prevailing feature.
