Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Christian Remembrancer, Vol. 18: A Quarterly Review; July December Art. I. - 1. Scriptores Groeci Minores. By Dr. Glies. Oxon Talboys. 1831. 2. Stesichori Himerensis Fragementa. By O. F. Kleine. Berolini. Typis et Impensis Ge. Reimari 1828. Let our readers imagine the works of Shakspere to have perished. Let them imagine our whole knowledge of that inimitable genius to be gleaned from the scattered references made to him by other writers. Sometimes we should find stray expressions, idioms, and allusions, current as household words Sometimes the meaning alone would be referred to, while the words were altered or parodied. Sometimes a few lines might he quoted, or even a passage of some length, as the ´Seven Ages,´ for example. By some rare chance, one might even drop upon a scene, or upon the ´Beauties of Shakspere.´ Then the Scholia, or notes of commentators might turn up; dissertations upon the genius of the great author, analyses of some of his more striking characters, or even ´Lamb´s Tales.´ But after all, what a deplorable deficiency would be presented by the total result! Let us imagine the most elaborate German criticism, or even the desperate researches of the ´Shakspere Society,´ to be enlisted in the cause. Let us fancy them collecting the fragments, arranging them under the dramas from which they were taken, and placing them in the proper order of their succession. One can see them rummaging the most despised authors, old grammarians, scribblers on prosody, and collectors of wretched ´Elegant Extracts,´ but all in vain, all lamentably inadequate, the mere shadow of a mighty reality, the ´ baseless fabric of a vision.´ If such must have been the result in the case of a modern writer, referred to by thousands of his contemporaries and ours, what can we expect to find of the lost works of writers who belonged to a remote antiquity, though the civilized world once rang to the echo of their names?
