Its object is to provide information concerning the various editions of Shakespeare's writings, and to point out at least a lew of the biographies, commentaries, and criticisms which have con- tributed to our knowledge of the poet and his works. It is hoped that it will enable the librarian, the teacher or any one who may be interested, to select the books best suited to his par- ticular needs, with the least expenditure of time and money. It differs from other guides to Shakespeare, some of which are mentioned in Section III of this list, in that it attempts to point a way through the vast maze of Shakespearean literature, rather than to offer instruction in the method of reading any particular play or group of plays. Shakespeare is so manysided, and has been studied from so many different points of view that a classification of the niaterial was felt to be obligatory. The arrangement of the subdivisions and their interrelation is shown by the table of contents. The •minuter phases of the subject so far as they are included in the works cited are brought out in an analytical index. The tercentenary of Shakespeare's death has seemed to offer to the Drama League of America an opportunity to ex- tend still further the newly awakened interest in the works of the world's greatest poet. Every effort is being made to encourage young people in schools and colleges, the members of clubs, and village and town associations to produce either the plays themselves or pageants illustrating the life and times of Shakespeare. To meet this pa/rticular need citations to the literature of costuming and pageantry have been added in an appendix.

BIBLIOGRAPHY Jaggard's (3) is the only bibliography which may be con- sidered practically complete at the time of publication. For scholarly work it is indispensable. For ordinary use Tolman's (87) or Tedder's (6) classified lists will be found most service- able. Both have evidently found the problems of classification somewhat puzzling. Bibliographical information of value will be found in Lee (156), Rolfe (160), and Schelling (109). Fur- ness's (16) Variorum edition furnishes a comprehensive bibliog- raphy for each play.

EDITIONS Note on the Selection of an Edition In selecting an edition of a classic two qualities should be looked for as essential, — legibility and durability. It will gener- ally be found that where a publisher has paid some attention to these two points a third quality — beauty — hardly less essen- tial than the other two will have been attained. Publishers sometimes sacrifice legibility to secure a decorative effect on the page, by using very light or very heavy type, or type of peculiar design. No amount or kind of decorative effect will compen- •• sate for the use of a type difficult to read. A book which has sacrificed its legibility has lost the only excuse it ever had for existence. The Roman type now generally used is the most easily read. All of the editions of Shakespeare mentioned below are printed in. some form of this type differing chiefly in size. Eight point or under is so small as to be rather difficult to read. Type above twelve point is apt to tire the eyes. Legibility , further depends on the leading or spacing between the lines and on the quality of the ink and paper. The strength or durability of a volume depends on the paper and 'binding. It should be remembered that the price at which a volume is sold exerts a great influence on all these points. Paper that would be ex- cellent in a volume costing fifty cents would be poor in a five dollar book. Shakespeare's writings are so extensive, that to print them in a single volume means either a type so small as to be read with difficulty or a volume so large as to be awkward and heavy. Single volume editions however have their use and one at least should be in every collection. It is hard to choose between the one volume editions listed below. The Globe edition gives the standard text to which Schmidt's Lexicon and Bartlett's LITERATURE OF SHAKESPEARE 9 Concordance refer. The type is six point, too minute for more than reference. The International, the Oxford, and Neilson's edition are all in eight point type and each provides a glossary. The International prints the Globe text and numbering, and the Temple Shakespeare notes, but not the introductions. It is cheaper but not so well made as the others. The Oxford is perhaps the best made, the printing is a little clearer and the paper a little more opaque. The text is based on the early quartos and the first folio, and is numbered. Neilson's edition is a well made book a trifle larger than the others. The text is based on the early quartos and the first folio, and is num- bered. The introductions are brief but excellent. Textual notes are printed at the end. For general reading an edition in several volumes of comfortable size and with legible type should be selected. Of the many editions examined the Oxford three, volume edition (14) seems to possess more good points than any other considering its price, $1.80 for the set. This taken in connection with Sir Sidney Lee's Life (156) involving an outlay of $2.25 additional, will equip anyone for the intelligent reading of Shakespeare. Should this expenditure of $4,0.5 seem too great for very small incomes, an excellent substitute will be found in the three volumes of the works in the Everyman's library, and Smeaton's biography in the same series, costing 35 cents per volume, making $1.40 for the four. Although the paper is not quite opaque and the margins are cropped rather close these are wonderful little books. Of the other editions noted below it need only be said that they are of such diversity that the requirements of the most exacting taste are easily met The earlier editions up to Malone's of 1821 have only an antiquarian interest in the history of the development of the text. The editions which appeared between 1821 and 1866 the date of the completion of the Cambridge text although lacking the results of the most recent scholarship are admirable for general use. They give better print, paper, and binding than can be had for the same money spent on modern editions. A recent London catalogue listed many of them at from two to four shillings per volume. No attempt has been made to list the many school editions of individual plays. Professor Stephenson has summed them up admirably in a few^ words by saying that "the imprint of a wellknown publisher is synonymous with accurate scholarly work." One Volume Editions Clark and Wright, eds. The works of William Shakespeare, ed. by William George Clark and William Aldis Wright. [The Globe ed.l London and New York, Macmillan and co., 1891. 1138 p. 18i/^cm. $1.75. This is the standard text to which Schmidt's Lexicon and Rartlett's Con- cordance and many commentators refer. It is printed in six-point type too small for more than reference use. 1-11041 b 10 A BRIEF GUIDE TO THE 8 Clark and Wright, eds.

[International ed.] New York, Hearst's international library co., [1914]. 1420 p. 20cm. $1.00. This is an excellent book for the money. It is printed in eight-point type op fair paper. The Globe text and numbering are given, and the notes of the Temple edition but not the introductions. There is an index of char- acters and a glossary. 14-20256 Craig, ed. ^^'^^^^f^t'^ ^-^ • The Oxford Shakespeare: the complete works of William Shakespeare, ed., with a glossary, by W. J. Craig. Oxford, Clarendon press, [1905?]. 1350 p. 20>^cm. $1.25. This is a very well made edition, beautifully printed on good paper. The text is based on the early quartos and the first folio. There is a glossary. This is the easiest to read of the one volume editions. It may be obtained on Oxford India paper, $2.50, on cheaper paper, 50c. 7-41814 10 Furnivall, ed. The Leopold Shakespere. . .from the text of...Delius, with an introduction by F. J. Furnivall. London, Cassell & co., n.d. cxxxvi, 1056 p. 21^cm. Valuable for the introduction by Furnivall, which is, however, a little out of date. It includes "The two noble kinsmen" and "Edward III." It was first printed in 1877 and is larger and heavier than more recent one volume editions, although, like most of them, printed in eight-point type. The whol/ was reprinted in larger type in three volumes under the title "The Ro]^ Shakespeare." 11 Neilson, ed.

Boston, Houghton, Mifflin and coj 1906. 1237 p. 23cm. (The Cambridge poetj.) $2.00. This is well printed on good paper. The text is numbered. There is an introduction to each play which is a scholarly summary concerning the text,, date, sources, etc. Textual notes and a general glossary are given at the end' of the volume. n 6-38336 12 Brooke, etc., eds.

Limiting the volume to twenty plays has permitted the use of larger type (lO-point) and the inclusion of introductions and notes. But the volume is bulkier and heavier than most one volume editions of all the plays. The stage history is given with unusual fullness. Within its limits an excellent volume; 14-15779 LITERATURE OF SHAKESPEARE 11 Other Editions 13 Clark and Wright, cds. The works of William Shakespeare.

"The text of this edition has been taken from the Globe Shakespeare, edited by WilHam George Clark and William Aldis Wright. The glossary is entirely new." At one time a great favorite, but it is printed in double columns in eight- goint type, like most single volume editions. The three-volume Oxfor,d or Iveryman is to be preferred. 4-18465 14 Craig, cd. [The complete works.] The text of the Oxford edition pre- pared by W. J.

The most important contribution of American scholarship to Shakespearean literature. 4-13966 12 A BRIEF GUIDE TO THE 17 GoUancz, ed. The Temple Shakespeare, with preface, glossary, &c. by Israel Gollancz. London, J. M. Dent and co., 1894-1896. 40 v. 13^cm. 45c. cl. 65 c. le. This is one" of the most charming editions ever published. The volumes are pocket size, in flexible covers, beautifully printed on fine paper. The text is the Globe texl, and is numbered. Each volume contains ati introduction on the early editions, date, sources, duration of the action, and at the end brief notes and a glossary. 18 Gollancz, ed. The works of Shakespeare, ed. by- Israel Gollancz. . .with many illustrations, antiquarian and topographical. London, J. M, Dent & CO., 1899-1900. 12 v. 19cm. (The larger Temple Shakespeare.) $15.00. 54/ set. "...The text here used is that of the 'Cambridge* edition. In the present issue of the 'Temple Shakespeare' the editor has introduced some few textual changes; these have been carefully noted in each case. 19 Herford, ed. The works of Shakespeare; ed. with introductions and notes by C. H. Herford. London, Macmillan and co., ltd., 1899. 10 v. 18i/$cm. (The Eversley series.) $1.50. 4/ each. These volumes have all the good qualities of the v^rell-known Eversley series, good printing, good paper, and a pleasing format. The text is founded upon the work of the editors of the Cambridge and Globe editions. The notes, brief and always to the point, are placed at the foot of the page. The American reprint is from the same plates but on poorer paper, the edges somewhat closely trimmed, the lettermg tarnishes. Almost all the pleasing qualities of the Eversley edition have disappeared. 12-38580 20 Hudson, ed. The new Hudson Shakespeare. Introduction and notes by H. N. Hudson; ed. and rev. by E. C. Black. [Boston], Ginn & CO., [1906-1914]. -12^. 17cm. 50c. each. Other volumes to follow. A revision of the Hudson Shakespeare that is excellent for hi^h school and college use, and for libraries having a demand for edited smgle-play volumes. The omissions from the text are the usual ones, the notes are not too scholarly, and the introductions admirably cover the usual subjects of discussion in class work. Variations in readings are ^iven and an index refers to the most important words and phrases explained m the notes. These are not so profuse as in the Rolfe edition and are placed with, the text instead of at the end of the play. 21 Neilson and Thorndike, eds. The Tudor Shakespeare, ed. by W. A. Neilson and A. H. . Thorndike. New York, The Macmillan co., 1911-1913. 40 v. 15cm. 35c. each. A pocket edition modelled on the well-known Temple Shakespeare, but with stiff instead of flexible covers. The notes, too, are somewhat fuller than in the Temple edition, making th'^ ^-^tter suited to class and library use. The text is the same as that used in Professor Neilson's one-volume edition in the Cambridge poets series. The identity of this name with the standard Cam- bridge edition of Clark and Wright results in confusion, and the suggestion to call this text the Neilson text should be adopted. Each volume has an introductory essay on the text, date, sources, construction and style, stage LITERATURE OF SHAKESPEARE 13 history, and interpretation. The notes and glossary are placed at the end. The last volume "The facts about Shakespeare" gives an admirable summary of the poet's life and works and includes a bibliography, p. 243-263. 22 Porter and Clarke, eds. [First folio edition]; ed. with notes, introduction, glossary, list of variorum readings, and selected criticism, by Charlotte Porter and Helen A. Clarke. New York, T. Y. Crowell co., 1903-1912. 40 V. 16i^cm. 75c. each. This edition places the text of the first folio within the reach of public libraries of moderate income, while at the same time it furnishes an excellent edition for ordinary use. A / /' 23 Rolfe, cd. ] Shakespeare's complete works, ed., with notes, by William J. Rolfe. New York, Harper & brothers, 1870-1883. 40 v. 20cm. 56c. each. This is one of the best editions for school and individual use. The notes are full and scholarly, the''text expurgated. A new edition was issued by the American Book Co. 1903-6, also in 40 volumes, but the extracts from notable critics were omitted. Also issued in 20 volumes with the title The Friendly edition. 12-38637 24 White, ed. . The new Grant White Shakespeare; rev., supplemented, and annotated by W. P. Trent, B. J. Wells, and J. B. Henneman. Boston, Little, Brown & co., 1912. 12 v. $1.50 each. The editors have left White's text substantially intact. The revisions have been only those dictated by the progress made in Shakespeare scholar- ship since the first edition appeared in 1857-65. The lines have been numbered. Some of the notes now no longer needed have been discarded, others have been edited and sometimes abridged, and a few have been added by the editors, such changes and additions being clearly indicated. 25 Wright, cd. The works of William Shakespeare, ed. ,by William Aldis Wright. London, Macmillan and co., 1894-95. 9 v. ZSy^cm. (The Cambridge Shakespeare.) $27.00. £4/14/6. This edition offers the most complete apparatus for the study of the text. It is accurate in its citations of various readings. Indispensable in any collec- tion used for scholarly work. 4-13967 Editions for Young People 26 Ben Greet edition. The Ben Greet Shakespeare for young readers -and amateur players. Garden City, N.

"A unique and exceptionally useful version, condensed to the length of an ordinary performance and especially adapted for reading or stage presentation by children and amateurs. The right-hand pages are devoted to the text, the left-hand to brief and lucid explanatory notes and practical stage directions, diagrams of the stage, illustrations of characters in costume, etc. At the beginning of the play are 'A few general rules or customs of acting' addressed to amateurs. The arrangements for stage sett'ng are few and simple." Quoted from A. L. A. Booklist, v. 9, p. 86. 27 Darton, ed. The Bankside Shakespeare for schools; ed. by F. J. H. Darton. London, W. Gardner, Darton & co., ltd. I have not seen these volumes. The publishers announce "The object of the series is to provide a text of Shakespeare which can be acted by children without undue mutilation of the plays. The whole plot is given, with no act or scene omitted or transposed. Curtailment is made from the speeches and dialogue. The acting is in the Elizabethan manner, with full directions for staging and management based on actual experience in London schools. The plays take about two hours in acting. Each play contains an estimate of the minimum number of actors required, with suggestions for duplicating minor parts." 28 Lamb edition.

Poems and Sonnets Doubtless Shakespeare revealed himself in his dramas, but such revelations are lost iii the multitude and variety of the characterizations and thei quest is hopeless. But the Sonnets form a small distinct group in which it is believed by many Shakespeare revealed his inmost feelings. The question whether the Sonnets tell a story of intrigue, involving as it does the identification of Mr. W. H., the rival poet, and the dark lady, offers a problem of irresistible attraction to many minds. Sir Sidney Lee's elaborate study of Elizabethan sonnet sequences (summarized in the Life) has seemed to place the whole matter in a clear light, but his simple, straight-forward common sense explanations do not appeal to those who love a mystery and so the discussion goes merrily on and doubtless will continue to the end of time. Some of these studies are valuable contribu- tions to Shakespeare literature and it has seemed best to mention a few of them below. Entries are under editors, be- cause as a rule there is a half-pennyworth of text to an intoler- able deal of comment. Those who desire to read the Sonnets for the beautiful poetry they contain will find the volumes in the Temple (17) or Tudor (21) editions, or the separate volumes in the, Canterbury poets (35g. or IT) or the Golden treasury series ($1 or 2/6) quite satisfactory. 18 A BRIEF GUIDE TO THE 71 Beeching, ed.

Boston and New York, Houghton, Mifflin co., 1912. 57 p. 18cm. 75c. 12-26316 Quotations The best of Shakespeare's sayings have found their way necessarily into all collections of quotations. In those which I have examined he occupies easily the first place. Bartlett in the latest edition gives Shakespeare 121 pages. Among collections of longer passages the . most notable achievement is the volume brought together by Dr. Johnson's unfortunate friend Dr. William Dodd under the title "The beauties of Shakespeare" published in 1752, and many times reprinted. Editions are still in the market, — W. Collins sons & CO., and F. Warne & co. both of London. Of a somewhat different character as its name implies is Mary Cowden Clarke's "Shakespeare's Proverbs," 1847 and since reprinted several times (G. P. Putnam's sons, 1908). A useful volume is C. Arnold's Index to Shakespearian thought, 1880. Apocrypha The best collection of the plays a* one time ascribed to Shakespeare is C. F. Tucker Brooke's mentioned below. A LITERATURE OF SHAKESPEARE 19 number of these plays are included in the Temple dramatists (1 sh. each) namely: Arden of Feversham, The two noble kins- men, Edward III, and The merry devil of Edmonton. 16 Brooke, Charles F.

The tales are included in most of the collected editions of Lamb's works, — Ainger's, Lucas's, Macdonald's or the Oxford edition. W 10-2 20 A BRIEF GUIDE TO THE 81 Macleod, Mary.

These two volumes endeavor to take the student more directly to the LITERATURE OF SHAKESPEARE 21 plays than other guides. After a brief introduction on the sources, etc., eacli act is taken up in turn with a section "Queries for discussion, under each. At the end of each play one or two sections are devoted to some special points in the drama. Does not give reading lists. 14-5830 86 Stephenson, Henry Thew. The study of Shakespeare. New York, H.

These comments are particularly good in making clear difficulties which confront the beginner. The book can be especially recommended to those studying alone. 13-5682 87 Tolman, Albert Harris.

More scholarly than Fleming (82) and consequently not so well suited to clubs or reading classes. The complete work will comprise six volumes. 10-15668 IV.

SHAKESPEARE'S CONTEMPORARIES Good modern editions of most of the Elizabethan dramatists have been published. Between 1885 and 1888 the complete works of Marlowe, Marston, Middleton, and Peele were published under the editorship of A. H. Bullen. The Oxford university press has issued editions of Lyly, Kyd, and Greene and a smaller edition of Marlowe. An edition of Jonson edited by Herford is announced. Beaumont and Fletcher are included in the series of Cambridge English classics (10 volumes) and a variorum edition by A. H. Bullen is in course of publication. Most of these are rather expensive. The collections listed below answer most purposes and cost comparatively little. 115 The Belles-lettres series. Section III. The English drama from its beginning to the present day. General editor, G. P. Baker. Boston, D. C. Heath and co., v. d. 7 v. 15>^cm. 60c. each. A school edition, two plays to each volume under a special editor. The introductions and notes are much fuller than in the Masterpieces of the Eng- lish drama. Each play is also provided with a bibliography and each volume with a glossary. Includes Beaumont, Fletcher, Chapman, Ford, Gascoigne, Jonson, Middleton, Webster. 116 Gayley, Charles Mills, ed. Representative English comedies, with introductory essays and notes, an historical view of our earlier comedy, and other monographs by various writers, under the general editorship of Charles Mills Gayley. New York, The Macmillan co., 1903-1914. 3 V. 203^cm. $2.00 each. An excellent collection of the greatest value to public libraries as well as to students and general readers. It brings together the best comedies from a purely literary point of view. Each is provided with an introductory essay bj' some specialist, on the author, the date, sources, construction and char- acters. 3-11660 117 Masterpieces of the English drama. Felix E. Schelling, general editor. New York, American book co., v. d. 7 v. 18cm. 70c. each. An edition for school use, each volume by a separate editor who provides an introductory sketch, notes and a glossary. Includes so far the best plays of Beaumont and Fletcher, Chapman, Jonson, Marlowe, Massinger, Middle- ton, Webster, and Tourneur, four plays to each volume.

Boston, Houghton, Mifflin co., 1911. 878 p. 21Hcm. $2.75. "Bibliographies:" p. 861-867. 11-5340 VIIL LATER HISTORY Including the development of the text and Shakespeare's posthumous reputation Under this heading Sir Sidney Lee's illuminating chapters on the Bibliography and Posthumous reputation should be espe- cially noted (156) chap. XIX, XX. Two scholarly works are also to be noted for their value in the study of the text, — C. M. Ingleby's Shakespeare's hermeneutics; or The still lion, being as essay towards the restoration of Shakespeare's text. London, Triibner & co., 1875, and B. G. Kinnear's Cruces Shakespeari- anae. Difficult passages in the works of Shakespeare. The text of the folios and quartos collated with the lections of recent editions and the old commentators. With original emendations and notes. London, G. Bell & sons, 1883. But the basis of all textual study should be the Cambridge edition (25). 120 Johnson, Charles Frederick. Shakespeare and his critics. Boston, Houghton, Mifflin co., 1909. 386 p. 21cm. $1.50. From a bibliographic point of view one of the best guides through the mazes of Shakespearean criticism. It points out the extent and character of the contribution made by each of the more important critics and editors. The author's critical acumen and charm of style raise his own comments far above the level of mere bibliographic notes. 9-6493 121 Jusserand, Jean Adrien Antoine Jules. Shakespeare in France under the ancien regime. London, T. F. Unwin, 1899. 496 p. 23cm. $6.00. Chapter I covers the literary relations of France and England before the time of Louis XIV. Chapter.II the struggle between the regulars (committed to the classic unities) and the independents, and to the literary relations with England throughout the seventeenth century. Chapters III and IV are devoted to the eighteenth century, the growing interest in English literature and the determined opposition of Voltaire. The Epilogue narrates briefly the final triumph of Shakespeare in the nineteenth century. The scholarship and vivacious style of the author have combined to produce one of the most intensely interesting volumes in the literature of Shakespeare. 1-1.360 28 A BRIEF GUIDE TO THE \ 122 Lee, Sir Sidney.

The text of Shakespeare; its history from the publication of the quartos and folios down to and including the publication of the editions of Pope and Theobald. New York, C. Scribner's sons, 1906. 579 p. 21^cm. (His Shakespearean wars. III.) $2.00. 6-36417 These three volumes are among the most important contributions of America to Shakespearean scholarship. They were published under the serial title of "Shakespearean wars." The interest of the first centers about Shakes- peare as a dramatist and contains one of the best discussions of Shakespeare's relation to the dramatic unities. The history of the plays is carried on with special fullness down to the death of Dryden, but Chapter IX continues the discussion of Shakespeare's influence through the eighteenth century. The second volume is taken up almost wholly with the history of the determined opposition of Voltaire to the growing influence of the English drama, espe- cially Shakespeare. The third volume reviews the text of the folios but is chiefly devoted to the Pope-Theobald controversy. 126 Warde, Frederick B. ^ The fools of Shakespeare; an interpretation of their wit, wisdom and personalities.

Contents. — Twelfth Night. — Romeo and Juliet. — As you like it. — King Lear. — The taming of the shrew. — Julius Caesar. 15-7372 In these volumes the author gives the stage histories of the ulays from 1855 to date, based on his own experience as a dramatic critic. Tne prelimi- nary chapter in volume 1, "Shakespeare spells ruin," discusses Shakespearean productions from a purely commercial point of view. IX. CRITICISM AND COMMENT Under this head an effort has been made to include only writings whose paramount interest is the work of Shakespeare, a point not always easy to determine. Where the interest of the book is in Shakespeare himself it is placed in Section XII. I should have no objection to the transfer of certain items from one section to the other. 129 Bradley, Andrew Cecil. Shakespearean tragedy; lectures on Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth.

One of the best books for the general reader, with the caution, however, that Shakespeare was more of a mere man and less of a conscious artist than the critic represents him. Takes up the plays in chronological order to show the development in character drav/ing. Especially fine in the analysis of characters. 3-25289 137 Fleming, William Hansell.

The introduction discusses Roman plays in the sixteenth century, Shakes- peare's treatment of history, and the sources of his Roman plays in Plutarch traced through the translators Amyot and North. Then follow "exhaustive studies of Julius Caesar, Anthony and Cleopatra, and Coriolanus, showing remarkable erudition and grasp, not only in interpretation of the plays them- selves, but in discussion of their sources, the dramatic conditions at the time they were written and the life they reflect."

"A brief biography, in which several circumstances by no means proved are taken for granted, is followed by chapters which give the outward aspect of Elizabethan drama, the stagecraft of the period, and call attention to the hitherto neglected matter — the frequent use Shakespeare makes of speeches to indicate the scenery, light, effects, etc., his ill equipped stage denied him. A vigorous defense of Shakespeare as a master playwright involves some keen criticism of Ibsen and an answer to the eccentric dicta of Bernard Shaw. The analyses of the plays are of an unusual kind and the book is to an uncommon degree 'a work of originality and lively interest.' — Oxford and Cambridge review; Ja 12." A. L. A.

A work of abundant research valuable for the facts which it presents, but its deductions are generally considered by critics as not always warranted. 152 Harris, Frank. The man Shakespeare and his tragic life-story. New York, M. Kennerley, 1909. 422 p. 21 ^cm. $2.50. "An attempt at creative criticism, constructed along the same lines as Carlyle's Cromwell and based on the belief that it is possible from Shakes- peare's writings to establish beyond doubt the main features of his character and the chief incidents of his life. While the reader may not be willing to concede that the author's theory is sound or that he has established his claim, no one can fail to enjoy his demonstration, both on account of the originality of the opinions expressed and the freshness and vigor of the style." A. L, A. Booklist, v. 6 : 204. The work is really very well done, but after reading it, some more formal biography not given over to conjecture, such as Sir Sidney Lee's, should follow as a corrective. 9-28298 153 Halliwell-Phillipps, James Orchard.

To the highest scholarship the author united an experience gained as editor of the Dictionary of national biography, and he has presented his results in a style of great dignity and wonderful clear- ness. His trained judgment never seems at fault, and in the case of the Sonnets and some of the myths he has cleared away a deal of rubbish. Some of his critics find him a little severe, but he is the safest guide not only to the general reader but to the serious student as well.

This biography is in every way worthy of the series for which it was written. The subject matter is well arranged and presented in a clear style. The plays of each period are taken up in chronological order and the discus- sion is made part of the biographical narrative. The points brought out for each play are, dates of composition and production, sources, scene and time- analysis, results of metrical tests, plot, analysis of characters, and passages from the best criticisms of the play. In picking out telling passages from the critics the author displays a remarkable selective faculty. A 12-671 LITERATURE OF SHAKESPEARE 35 163 Wallace, Charles William.

Shakespeare and his London associates as revealed in re- cently discovered documents. Lincoln, Neb., [1910]. 100 p. 23Hcm. (University studies, pub. by the University of Ne- braska, V. 10, no. 4.) In the above papers Professor Wallace gives an account of his discoveries of Shakespeare documents. His articles in Harper's magazine for March, 1910, and in the Century for August and September, 1910, are perhaps more easily available. 12-1127 XL PORTRAITS The most readily accessible information concerning Shake- speare's portraits is the article by Marion H. Spielman, in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, eleventh edition, v. 24, p. 787-793. It is well illustrated. The same writer contributed a chapter to V. 10 of the Stratford edition (68) which was reprinted as a separate in 1907. An elaborate work by J. P. Norris, The por- traits of Shakespeare was published in Philadelphia in 1885. This contains a "List of books, magazine and newspaper articles, etc., consulted," p. xv-xxviii. 165 Hartmann, Sadakichi.

XII. SHAKESPEARE AS A DRAMATIST 166 Baker, George Pierce. The development of Shakespeare as a dramatist. New York, The Macmillan co., 1907. 329 p. 20cm. $1.75. This is one of the best studies of Shakespeare's development. The pre- liminary chapters show clearly and succinctly the extent to which the drama had developed in the hands of Shakespeare's predecessors, describe the theatre of Shakespeare's time, and give an insight into the thoughts and feelings of the people who made up the audiences. The author then traces Shakespeare's development throughout his whole career keeping close to facts and avoiding conjecture. In an appendix is given the contract for building the first For- tune theatre. 7-22387 167 Matthews, James Brander. Shakspere as a playwright. New York, C. Scribner's sons, 1913. 399 p. 23cm. $3.00.

"The present work is supplementary to my former book 'Shakespeare as a dramatic artist'. . .and is a re-issue of the book published four years ago under the title 'The moral system of Shakespeare.' " — Preface. 7-29024 While these volumes are replete with criticism of the highest order, the point of the study is the man behind the plays, his mental and moral develop- ment, the methods by which he achieved his results and the ethical philosophy underlying his writings. The study of the plots is not one of dramatic tech- nique, but "to unfold the philosophy of Shakespeare obtained on the basis of such plot analysis." An appendix to the later volume gives the "Plot schemes of Shakespeare's dramas." 170 Wendell, Barrett. William Shakespeare, a study in Elizabethan literature. New York, C. Scribner's sons, 1894. 439 p. 19cm. One of the most interesting volumes of Shakespeare literature. After introductory chapters on the life and the theatre the author takes up the plays in the accepted chronological order and develops the theory of unconscious artistic creation. The volume is especially valuable as a study of Shakes- peare's mind and methods based on the known facts and not on conjecture, as is the case with Dowden. 12-40498 XIII. SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE This is one of the most interesting and amusing sections of Shakespeare literature; and it has grown to be one of the largest. Nowhere else is "bardolatry" so evident. The writers generally prove too much as is the way with special pleaders, but many really have made valuable contributions to the study of the poet and from these the following are selected. Ellacombe, Thisel- ton-Dyer, and Madden are especially valuable. Angling 171 Ellacombe, Henry Nelson. Shakespeare as an angler. London, E. Stock, 1883. 78 p. 18cm.

Under the guise of the diary of Master Silence the author furnishes a detailed description of a hunting and a hawking expedition and thus finds an opportunity to explain Shakespeare's many allusions to these and incidentally to other sports. 1-18884 XIV. SHAKESPEARE FORGERIES Shakespeare forgeries are associated chiefly with the names of William Henry Ireland and James Payne Collier. A brief 40 A BRIEF GUIDE TO THE account will be found in Lee's Life (156) Appendix I, p. 381-385, who also gives the chief authorities. Further references are to be found in Tedder (6). The whole matter is now one of purely antiquarian interest. XV. BACON— SHAKESPEARE Sir Sidney Lee in the latest edition of the "Life" (156), p. 389, says of this question: "The abundance of the contemporary evidence attesting Shakespeare's responsibility for the works published under his name gives the Baconian theory no rational right to a hearing; while such authentic examples of Bacon's effort to write verse as survive prove beyond all possibility of contradiction that, great as he was as a prose writer and a philosopher, he was incapable of penning any poetry assigned to Shakespeare. De- fective knowledge and illogical or casuistical argument alone render any other conclusion possible." Inquirers who are curious concerning this question will find in Appendix II of Lee's "Life," from which the above is quoted a brief historical summary of the whole controversy. Essays written in good temper will also be found in John Fiske's A century of science, Boston, 1899, p. 350-404, and in R. G. White's Studies in Shakespeare, 1896, p. 151-182.

Castleman. New York, The Macmillan co., 1907. 510 p. 15cm. Kenilworth is sometimes mentioned as a novel in which Shakespeare appears. That is about all he does, and bows in response to a complimentary greeting from the Earl of Leicester. Worthy of note, however, is the scene a little further along in the same chapter (XVII) in which Raleigh quotes for the delectation of Queen Elizabeth a passage from Act II of A midsummer night's dream. The passage was actually written some twenty years after the event, but what is twenty years to the Wizard of the North. 7-12271 245 Shaw, George Bernard.

Lord Arthur Savile's crime; The portrait of Mr. W. H., and other stories. 4th ed. London, Methuen & co., [1909]. 196 p. 18cm. "The portrait of Mr. W. H." turns on the attempt to show by a forged portrait that Mr. W. H. of the sonnets was Will Hews, a boy actor of Shakespeare's company. The theory is much like the one advanced by Sam- uel Butler (72). A 11-1430 APPENDIX XXI.

"This work combines some of the features of both Chubb's and Need- ham's books, though, unlike them, it is not based on experience in school work and is therefore more theoretical than cither. Part 1 discusses the organization and administration of a department for folk-plays in schools and playgrounds, with classed bibliograi)hy (15 p.); part 2. the presentation of plays in the primary, intermediate and final preparatory period.

"This work, based largely on the author's experience, has less practical and — to the teacher in the country and small town — more inspirational value than Chubb. She points out clearly, with apt illustration, the educational uses of the festival and the need for it in our national life, defines its spirit, gives its historical setting, and in its chapters on 'Choice of subject' and 'Use of festivals in connection with playgrounds and schools' makes definite suggestions for the teacher. The arrangement of material could perhaps have been improved. Beyond the fact that both point out the festival's value, there is little duplication in the two books and their method of approach is wholly different." A. L. A.
