Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Study of a Feature of Sixteenth Century Conventionalism as It Reveals Itself, in Holinshed´s Chronicle: A Thesis Presented to the University Faculty, of Cornell University for the Decree, of Doctor of Philosophy The evolution of the present work is curious enough to warrant a prefatory word of explanation concerning the relation between the Elizabethan Drama and my subject. The reading of Mr. Boswell-Stone´s "Shakespeare´s Holinshed" suggested to me the possibility of a similar study of Holinshed´s relation to the non-Shakespearean historical plays. To my great surprise, however, I soon found myself interested in The Chronicle for the Chronicler´s own sake, first as representative of a large class of people in every age of the world; second, as representative of this class in relation to the special problems of the Elizabethan age. Obviously in such a study the drama, from certain points of view so intimately connected with the Chronicle, has fallen into distinctly second place, and will be used merely either to illustrate or to supplement or to enforce by contrast the points I would make concerning the Chronicler. In this connection I would take occasion to say that I have used freely the suggestions made in various studies of Elizabethan Drama by Mr. Felix Schelling, Mr. Algernon Charles Swinburne, Mr. John Addington Symonds, Mr. A. W. Ward, Mr. Hans Wagner Singer, Mr. W. G. Boswell-Stone and other writers whose services I gratefully acknowledge. It remains for me to express my gratitude to Professor James Morgan Hart of Cornell University for illuminating advice and criticism; and to Professor George Lincoln Burr, also of Cornell University, whose instruction has furnished me with the historical data necessary for the prosecution of the present study.
