A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

To add another volume to the already overflowing library of Shakespearean criticism requires a word of apology. In defense of this study as a contribution to knowledge, may I preface a brief plea my conviction after four years investigation of the subject? In the first place, this, so far as I know, is the only collective study of all of Shakespeare ssoliloquies. A gain, with surprisingly few exceptions, this is the only technical examination of any of Shakespeare ssoliloquies. Finally, although the rnliloquy as a convention has been frequently treated of late years in some valuable magazine articles at home and some lengthy monographs abroad, this discussion really adds to our knowledge of the soliloquy. There is a new treatment, I believe, of the following topics: (i) definition of the soliloquy; (2) the data of Chapter II; (3) the expository soliloquy as a means of identification and disguising; (4) the soliloquy as an explanation of accompanying business, such as sleep, suicide and death, as an accompaniment of an entrance and of an exit, and as the unconscious entrance ;(5) the classification and analysis of Shakespeare scomic soliloquies, showing their relation to conventional types; and (6) the collective study of Shakespeare stragic soliloquies as revelations of thought and feeling, and, in particular, these aspects of the convention, the apolog for the introspective soliloquy, textual indications of introspection, the setting of the introspective soliloquy, and the trance ;also, the evolution of the moralizing in Shakespeare ssoliloquies, and the classification of the passions depicted by Shakespeare ssoliloquizers. Notwithstanding the analytical method of this investigation, I trust that I have not entirely failed to rise to the height of this great argument. Whatever merit this dissertation may have is due in no small degree to the friendly critic

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
