Présentation de l'éditeur
Celebration of the Tercentenary of Shakespeare sdeath with an exhibition of engraved portraits, of engravings of actors in Shakespearean parts, accompanied by autograph letters signed by many famous players, and of the books and manuscripts described on the following pages. From the middle of June until the first of A ugust, the people of Newport and their visitors have an opportunity to see the most significant, and some of the rarest and most valuable presentations of the poets personal appearance, and many interpretations of the playwrights creations. The books have been selected with the object of making William Shakespeare seem like a real person. They show how his writings were first Printed; the books he read; what his friends were reading and writing; and what his contemporaries thought about him. The notes in this Guide try to emphasize this character of these Shakespearean treasures. These are of inestimable value because they have to do with one of the greatest geniuses that ever lived. But they also show that this genius was a very human being, who did his work and lived his life among his fellows.
