Our Fellow Shakespeare

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The governing idea of the present volume is not to increase the amount of learning possible to the expert in Shakespearean criticism. My h0pe is rather to enable those who have thought of Shake speare as a frigid classic to enter like little children into his kingdom. The sun and the sea are for everybody, and so is Shakespeare. Spontaneous delight should come first, and scientific knowledge afterwards - if at all.
