Excerpt from A Few Concise Examples of Seven Hundred Errors in Shakspeare's Plays, Now Corrected and Elucidated: And Which Have Afforded Abundant Scope for Critical Animadversion; And Hitherto Held at Defiance the Penetration of All Shakspeare's Commentators
WE have had some, but not many, instances where the-fos tering hand of patronage has been denied to genius: this, my predecessors never experienced they found no difficulty in oh taining a liberal compensation for their labours from the Book sellers; for, celebrity of name stamped merit on whatever their genius produced, and was considered a tower of strength by their respective publishers. But whether my production pos sesses merit or not whether it displays superiority, or is inferior to their comments, it hasbeen alike rejected by every book seller to whom I ofl'ered it for publication. But I cannot blame those gentlemen; prejudice has operated with equal force on their minds as on the learned critics', and wherefore, but from the angry lash which illiberal criticism has laid on my predecessors.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents over seven hundred corrections and elucidations to the works of renowned playwright William Shakespeare. The author contends that many of the errors in past interpretations of Shakespeare's works arose from printing and transcription mistakes, and he corrects these errors to provide a clearer understanding of the playwright's intended meanings. The author argues that many of the great minds who attempted to interpret Shakespeare were hindered by the textual errors that had crept into his works throughout history, and that once these errors are corrected, new depths of meaning emerge. The book also offers insight into Shakespeare's creative process, and his use of puns, wordplay and contemporary slang to express larger truths about the human condition. The author's dedication to restoring Shakespeare's original words and meanings will be of interest to scholars, students and casual readers alike, offering fresh perspectives on the works of one of the most celebrated writers in the English language. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
