A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

We ought to be able to recognize the change in his manner better than students reading Plays in a language which is foreign to them, and we ought to see the change in his mood better than any foreigner can. Our acquaintance with his private affairs is dangerous unless it is coupled with an intimate knowledge of his different times, and this is also required because he mirrored the days in which he was living. Mr. Bradley, for instance, writes in his Oxford Lectures on Poetry :W hen we study the history of the times in which theE lizabethan dramas were composed, when we examine the portraits of famous men, or read such a book as the Autobiography of Lord Herbert of Cherbury, we realize that the violent actions and passions which the dramatist depicted were like the things he saw. This intimate knowledge is out of the reach of the most industrious foreigner even Gervinus, though he wrote So wie die Zeit, so warder Dichter selbst, exhibited a natural ignorance. No rationalE nglishman would try to explain Luther stimes to the Germans. While the history of the Plays is confused Shakespeare simage in them must be distorted, and if we have a wrong notion of him they also would be misunderstood. It ought to be possible to discover the rightO rder of his Poems and Plays. The Order commonly accepted to-day, with some variations, is founded on chance hints and metrical tests, and many students have recognized that it cannot be right. Mr. Saintsbury, for instance, writes in hisH istory of English Prosody: I ought to say, that it seems to me pretty certain that some (and perhaps many) of the Plays represent very different stagesand were, in all probability, begun, suspended and finished with more or less rewriting, sometimes at long intervals.
