Excerpt from A Course of Lectures on Dramatic Art and Literature, Vol. 1 of 2
A constant habit of analysis gradually induces a dis position to continue the process in a circle, and thence in a series of circles, to the exclusion of any satisfactory result in which the mind and feelings can rest for the only result Obtained, being thus self-involved, or ending where it began, induces dissatisfaction in all things; impairs with morbific and multiplying doubts the facul ties of the mind and when at length this habit, having passed through all its stages of abstract speculation, has, finally, fastened its searching and dismembering talons on the practical relations of life, a more unhappy and pitiable object than an individual so conditioned, we can scarcely imagine to exist among the vast class of self-tormenting mortals. He dissects and decom; poses every motive, however friendly, and, as in the lost and perverse state of Faust, while others enjoy, he reasons on enjoyment.

This book offers an astute look at the history and essence of dramatic literature, analyzing the evolution of theater and drama from the ancients to the romantics.

By examining the principles of dramatic literature and exploring the works of various playwrights, this book provides insights into the power of drama to reflect and shape human experience. It delves into the distinctions between classical and romantic poetry, explores the significance of the chorus in Greek tragedy, and examines the development of tragedy and comedy through the works of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and others.
