Présentation de l'éditeur

Introduction Shakespeare is the greatest of poets and dramatists, and to know him well is a liberal education ;but the majority of intelligent if, indeed, we may not say of cultivated people who fancy that they know him well have in reality only a smattering of this education. They know little of him except through the plays commonly put upon the stage, or the selections made by professional readers, who, as a rule, draw from this sa:ne group of plays 2he Merchant of Venice, As You Like I t, Twelfth Night, Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, and a few others. These people may have standard editions of Shakespeare on their book-shelves, but they seldom open them except, perhaps, to refresh their memories concerning the plays with which they have become acquainted in the way I have mentioned. An eminent editor of Shakespeare used to say that, when he heard a person talk of being familiar with Shakespeare, he would ask him if he had ever read Cymbeline; and in nine cases of ten he would have to say that he had not. This was twenty or more years ago, when Cymbeline was seldom, if ever, put upon the stage, as it has occasionally been more recently.
