Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies in Shakespeare: First Series What need of adding another book on Shakespeare to the thousands that already cumber our library shelves? None indeed, unless something should be stated or emphasized that is either not well enough known or not sufficiently appreciated. Both considerations move the present author to offer these four Studies. 1. Of the foundations of Shakespeare´s greatness we cannot claim that there have been new discoveries; but a careful grouping of the ascertained facts in regard to his father´s family and his own early environment warrants the assertion that the first twelve or fifteen years of the boy´s life were passed in the midst of influences calculated to awaken and foster his ambition. Reasoning from effect to cause, we have a right to infer that he was from childhood an intense worker, and soon a book student of extraordinary diligence. 2. Such a youth - a mind omnivorous and all-assimilating - impelled by a threefold motive of knowledge, culture, and expression - moving in a realm of the highest ideals - is especially liable to be fascinated by female beauty. Hence his marriage to a woman seven or eight years his senior, a step proper enough provided either had the means of supporting a family.
