Présentation de l'éditeur

Shakespeare to the novel we have here reprinted, says that our great dramatist followed it more exactly than is his general custom, when he is indebted to such worth less originals. Let it be remembered, that this opinion as to the value of Lodge s Rosalynd was given by the commentator who asserted that the force of an A ct of Parliament would not be sufficient to compel people to read Shakespeare s Sonnets, and who pronounced Watson a more elegant writer than Shakespeare in that department of poetry. Comparing Rosalynd with As you like it, the former may indeed be termed worthless inas much as Shakespeare splay is so immeasurably superior to it; but Steevens spoke in the abstract of works of the kind of which Shakespeare had availed himself; and placing Lodge snovel by the side of other productions of the same class, we cannot hesitate to declare it a very amusing and varied com position, full of agreeable and graceful invention (for we are aware of no foreign authority for any of the incidents), and with much natural force and simplicity in the style of the narrative.
