Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Shakespeare´s Tempest in Baconian Light: A New Theory When some years ago, I undertook to read Shakespeare´s "Tempest" in one of the higher classes of our school, my pupils, I venture to say, greatly enjoyed the play as an unparalleled romantic drama. They were brought to admire, and in some degree, to appreciate the work. I myself, however, while making use of the editions commented upon by Delias, and Hamann, and after consulting Gervinus, Clemens, Roden, etc., was more and more plunged into a chaos of doubts as to the purport and bearing of the play itself. "Why was the ´Tempest´ placed at the head of the plays in the Great Folio? How must we interpret: Sycorax was grown into a hoop? - For one thing she did? - How must we explain the part of Prospero? - How the Epilogue? etc. etc." - Beset by these, and a host of similar questions, I was induced to consult some other books, such as were at hand at the library of the Heidelberg University, e. g. Ignatius Donnelly: The Great Cryptogram; Vitzthum von Eckstaedt: Shakespeare and Shakspere; Edwin Bormann: das Shakespeare-Geheimnis; Kuno Fischer: Shakespeare und die Bacon-Mythen etc. Being, however, precipitated into an abyss of uncertainty, by the study of these books, I finally dropped the matter altogether, mainly because for some years succeeding I was suffering from ill health.
