Excerpt from The Facts About Shakespeare Shakespeare lived in a period of change. In religion, politics, literature, and commerce, in the habits of daily living, in the world of ideas, his lifetime witnessed continual change and movement. When Elizabeth came to the throne, six years before he was born, England was still largely Catholic, as it had been for nine centuries; when she died England was Protestant, and by the date of Shakespeare's death it was well on the way to becoming Puritan. The Protestant Reformation had worked nearly its full course of revolution in ideas, habits, and beliefs. The authority of the church had been replaced by that of the Bible, of the English Bible, superbly translated by Shakespeare's contemporaries. Within his lifetime, again, England had attained a national unity and an international importance heretofore unknown.

Excerpt from Shakespeare The present little volume is neither a compendium of the facts nor a guide to the theories about Shakespeare. It makes no pretence to even proximate completeness. It seeks simply to single out, in the record of his life and work, what appears most vital to our understanding of both. In dealing with the separate plays, attention has been concentrated upon the cardinal situations and characters, without any systematic attempt to tell "the story" - a kind of dramatic extract in which a maximum of what Shakespeare borrowed is commonly combined with a minimum of what he gave. Fuller handling of the whole of Shakespeare's work, with discussion of the more salient critical problems here perforce ignored, will be found in the Introductions and Notes to the Eversley Shakespeare (Macmillan), edited by the present writer, an occasional phrase from which has been borrowed in the following pages.

Excerpt from A Life of William Shakespeare The materials for a life of Shakespeare have been gradu-a ally assembled by the industry of hundreds Of scholars, extending through more than two centuries; and prob ably little new matter Of importance remains to be dis covered, except through a happy, and at present quite unforeseen, accident. The arduous labors of Professor and Mrs. Wallace in the manuscript archives of England, during the course Of which they examined over a million documents, recently yielded some fresh information; yet the small number Of their finds assures us that nearly all that we are likely to know Of the personal affairs of the great dramatist has already been made pub lic. This stagnation in discovery is perhaps responsible for the tendency, especially marked in the last decade, for writers to deal in fanciful speculation, evolving from Slight evidence, or none worthy of the name, bizarre and Often elaborately detailed hypotheses regarding Shake speare's relations with his contemporaries. But the re sults Of such ingenuity are likely to be as perilous as they are unsubstantial, and for the most part must be ignored by the biographer. On the other hand, some valuable information is now being derived from a study, largely bibliographical, Of the origin of the Shakespearean texts, and of their transmission to us through the medium of the playhouse and the press. True, much remains to be done in this field Of endeavor before absolutely final conclusions are established, yet the main facts which alone are needed for a general biography are already clear.

Excerpt from Shakespeare in Fact and in Criticism These Papers have been indexed in a common table because, if there is anything of value in them, it will not he less valuable when made of easy reference. But principally they are so identified because, although written at differing intervals, there runs through them all a sort of common purpose. That purpose is to protest, as far as one voice can, against what seems to me the cruel and unusual punishment which Shakespeare is just now meeting at the hands of the esthetic critics. These esthetes, divigating their processes from simple demonstration of Shakespeare's beauties, have fallen to counting his lines, his syllables and endings; from this numeration to conceive a certain algebra, and from this algebra to demonstrate the period and the chronology of this or that play or poem. Nay, more. They even write his William Shakespeare's personal history from the impressions they themselves receive from this treatment of particular passages in the Plays, until there are as many William Shakespeares as there are commentators! My own idea has been that William Shakespeare was a man of like passion with ourselves, whose moods and veins were influenced just as are ours by his surroundings, employments, vocations; that his works are for all times that love him, but not (as is shown by the Davenant episode) for those that do not; and that, great as he teas and oceanic as teas his genius, we can read him all the better because he was, after all, a man. I admit to having modified in the course of time and study a good many of the opinions expressed in these Papers, as well as in my earlier Shakespearean Myth.

Excerpt from The Life of William Shakespeare: Including Many Particulars Respecting the Poet and His Family Never Before Published The tide of public curiosity in matters of Shakespearian enquiry has of late years set almost exclusively in the direction of biography; the minutest facts respecting the personal history of the World's Poet receiving more attention, and creating wider discussion, than the happiest illustrations of the great works on which his reputation is established. It is not difficult to assign a reason for this preference, for, although the higher branches of criticism are undoubtedly more important, perhaps, even, when fully understood, more interesting and attractive, biographical disquisitions have the advantage of being readily appreciated by all; and, as Shakespeare was the most eminent genius the world has ever produced, it is not surprising that details of his existence, information of his reality when he lived and moved as one of ourselves, should be sought for with so much avidity. We should also recollect that minute historical researches never appear to so great advantage, nor are they productive of so much utility, as when they tend to unfold the private actions and characters of those great men whose deeds or works have exercised beneficial influences on the progress of mankind.

Excerpt from Baconian Facts: An Epilogue to the Farce of "Bacon Vs. Shakespeare" Shakespeare could have acquired no knowledge of French, Span ish and Italian, since their attainment was not an extraordinary accomplishment, and what was easily possible to other men could not have been impossible to him. It is not, however, Shakespeare's presumed knowledge of any language, but his actual, incomparable mastery of his native English that induces wonder and compels admiration. In his time English was untaught, was despised by those who sought fame and immortality, and by no one more despised than by Francis Bacon. He would not trust his works to its custody; he thought it would not endure; he said it would play the bankrupt with books and he had his works carefully translated into Latin, the universal language, because as I have lost much time with this age, I would be glad, as God shall give me leave, to recover it with posterity.

Excerpt from A Glossary to the Works of William Shakespeare Among the difficulties incident to a glossarist not the least is that of determining the nicer shades of meaning in which many words are used; and very probably some philologers may think that I have occasionally made distinctions where none in fact exist, and sometimes confounded what ought to have been kept distinct. Nor do I feel sure that sundry other things will not be objected to, and perhaps with justice, in such a mass of omnigenous matter as the following pages comprise.

Excerpt from New Facts Regarding the Life of Shakespeare: In a Letter to Thomas Amyot, Esq. F. R. S., Treasurer of the Society of Antiquaries, From J. Payne Collier, F. S. A Thus we see that in 1589 Shakespeare's name is placed twelfth in the list of the sixteen members of the Company. In 1596, he had so far advanced that it was inserted fifth, when only eight of the associa tion were named: in 1603, he was second in the new Patent granted by King James on his accession. How much weight is due to these locations, and what in ferences we may fairly draw from them, it is not easy to decide, but they certainly show that Shakespeare from the first was gradually making his way to greater prominence of station.
