Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Notes on Elizabethan Dramatists With Conjectural Emendations of the Text As the following pages treat largely of that kind of verse, which, for want of a better name, I have designated as syllable pause lines, I think it right to inform the reader that some time ago (in October 1885), in turning over George L. Craik´s edition of ´Julius Caesar´ (The English of Shakespeare &c., 5th Ed., Lon., 1875), I lighted accidentally at p. 33 on a passage, hitherto overlooked by me, that bears upon this kind of apparently defective lines, which lines, Mr Craik says, appear to have received the sanction of Coleridge, in so far as Coleridge considered the pause a substitute for the omitted syllable. Craik, for his own part, confesses himself strongly inclined to think the text corrupted in all, or almost all, such cases; Coleridge, he says, had not fully considered the matter. I do not know, where Coleridge has treated of syllable pause lines and can do no more than refer the reader to the passage in Craik, without adding any comment of my own. My conviction is rather strengthened than shaken by Craik´s remarks and I have continued to point out at least part of those lines in which a pause does service for a defective syllable.
