Présentation de l'éditeur
THIS volume consists of a series of papers contributed within the last ten years to the Berlin Society for the Study of Modern Languages, and published from time to time in the Archiv für das Studium der neueren Sprachen und Literaturen.
Their object is to illustrate the universality of Shakespeare's knowledge by comparing passages, words, and expressions in his works with similar expressions or thoughts in old authors; to show especially his accurate acquaintance with the technicalities of law, and to ascertain the measure in which he was influenced by the literature of his own day in his modes of thought and in his language.
