PREFACE. 
 
 The first "Shakspeariana", by Wilson, published in 1827, 
 was too imperfect to be of much use. 
 
 Mr. Halliwell's, which appeared in 1841 , is very useful for 
 the various early editions of Shakespeare's works; but, for so 
 great a student of the dramatist and his history, his collection of 
 commentaries and essays (which only extends to 233 numbers) is 
 singularly imperfect. In 1845 appeared, at Kampen in Holland, 
 " Omtrekken eener Algemeene Litteratuur over William Shakspeare, 
 en deszelfsWerken; door Jurriaan Moulin " ; also a very imperfect 
 work. The next publication of the kind, was a tract which ap- 
 peared in Germany in 1852, entitled "Die Shakspeare -Literatur 
 in Deutschland, von 1762—1851". It was drawn up by a book- 
 seller; and was a praiseworthy attempt to catalogue the Shak- 
 spearian Literature of Germany. At the time when I was myself 
 busily engaged in Shakspearian researches, another bibliographical 
 work appeared at Leipzig, on the same subject; — "Die Shake- 
 speare-Literatur bis Mitte 1854, von Sillig". This book, published 
 in 1854, was decidedly the most perfect production of its kind, 
 which had hitherto seen the light. 
 
 Nevertheless I could not relinquish the idea of publishing my 
 own Collectanea; — for not only were my materials and the labour 
 expended upon them considerable (the subject has occupied me 
 for more than 12 years) — but it was moreover a part of my 
 plan to classify the productions of England, France and Germany, 
 in a manner as yet unattempted. Halliwell had only 29 additions 
 to Wilson: I had over 600 -more than Sillig: enough in themselves 
 to constitute quite a new work. And besides this, it was my 
 intention to prefix historical and bibliographical introductions, 
 which may not be uninteresting to the Shakspearian student.

 The latest addition to Shakspearian literature has appeared in 
 the new edition of "Lowndes Manual" by Mr. Henry Bohn; and 
 constitutes a "Shakspeariana" of which I cannot but speak in 
 the very highest terms. And yet it will be found, on comparison, 
 that I have at least 120 additional references in the English, and 
 nearly 300 in the German and French departments. Besides which, 
 my classification and arrangement are totally different. Aiming, as 
 I do, at quite a different object, this must necessarily be the case. 
 I have not recapitulated in my catalogue, the various editions of 
 each play in English. They may be readily found in Mr. Bohn's 
 work, which is both very elaborate and very complete. It was 
 however necessary, that I should do this in the German and 
 French divisions, since each fresh translation represents, of course, 
 a new and distinct effort. 
 
 The Times of the 26 th of December 1860 made the following 
 remark "on Shakspeariana": 
 
 " There is a well-known remark of Johnson, about the pleasure 
 "and advantage of collecting all the editions of one particular 
 "book, and the various commentaries and criticisms connected 
 " with it. He proposed Horace as an example. But, to an English 
 " collector, what name might stand before Shakspeare ? Think of 
 "all the re-prints of his Plays; of the literature which surrounds 
 "them; of the learned investigations, the subtile analogies, the 
 "refined interpretations; of the thoughtfulness, the fire, the grace 
 "of so many minds. 
 
 "Think of a Shakspeare 'Library'! 
 
 " Southey said, when Isaac Beed's contribution appeared, 
 '"Comments upon Shakespeare keep pace with the National 
 "Debt: yet I should like to see his book, and would buy it, if 
 "I could'.. Of course; and a costly store is obtained by such 
 " continual additions ". 
 
 The Catalogue of this Shakespeare "Library" it has been my 
 endeavour to place before the lovers of the great dramatist.

 SKETCH OF THE PROGRESS OF SHAKSPEAR1AN CRITICISM, 
 
 AND OF THE GRADUAL APPRECIATION OF SHAKSPEARE 
 
 IN 
 
 ENGLAND. 
 
 The history of Shakspearian criticism is one which goes hand in 
 hand with that of the general literary and critical art of England: 
 nay , Shakspeare's works would seem to have been particularly designed 
 to test the march of English intellect. It will therefore be necessary 
 to glance at the successive publications of his works, in order to show 
 the effect they produced on English writers. 
 
 The separate plays of the great dramatist were issued during his 
 life-time ; in what consecutive order it is now impossible to say ; though 
 certain it is that Shakspeare himself could never have seen them, even 
 separately, through the press. They appeared in a corrupt state from 
 the beginning; for, being printed and published as acting plays, they 
 were altered, corrected and "improved" by both actors and man- 
 agers. 
 
 The first collected edition ("Editio princeps") appeared in folio 
 in 1623, the editors being Heminge and Condell, both of whom were 
 actors at the " Globe ", and Shakspeare's executors and friends. This 
 edition was printed seven years after Shakspeare's death. 
 
 Its editors, in their 
 
 "Address to the Reader", speak as follows: — 
 "It had been a thing, we confess, worthy to have been wished, that 
 the author himself had lived to have set forth, and overseen his own 
 writings; but since it hath been ordained otherwise, and he by death 
 departed from that right, we pray you do not envy his friends, the 
 office of their care and pain, to have collected and published them ; and 
 so to have published them, as where (before) you were abused with 
 diverse stolen, and surreptitious copies, maimed, and deformed, by the 
 frauds and stealths of injurious impostors, that exposed them: even 
 those are now offered to your view cured, and perfect of their 
 limbs; and all the rest, absolute in their numbers, as he conceived 
 them, etc.

 "Henry Condell".

"It is by courtesy alone", says a writer of a very interesting article 
 in Bentley's Quarterly No. 3, " that this folio can be termed an edition. 
 "Edited, in any proper sense of the word, it is not. The errors of 
 '" the printer, and the corruptions of the • players are put down to 
 " Shakspeare's account, nor is there probably any Latin or Greek manu- 
 " script more vitiated by sleepy and ignorant copyists, than this editio 
 "princeps has been by its publishers. In spite of their vaunt about 
 "using exclusively Shakspeare's manuscripts, it is palpable that they 
 "availed themselves, when.they could, of the quartos published in the 
 " poet's lifetime, the text for which was, to all appearance, obtained sur- 
 reptitiously, either from copyists before the curtain, or from the 
 " prompter, or theatrical library behind it. And this negligence is the more 
 " inexcusable and provoking , because , according to general traditipn, 
 "Shakspeare's autographs were models of calligraphy, and Heminge 
 "and Condell must have seen, and might therefore have printed from 
 "them. 
 
 " Bad as the editing was, the printing of this volume was no bet- 
 "ter. Verse is printed as prose, prose as verse. Priscian's head is 
 "perpetually broken; words are omitted or transposed; the punctuation 
 ".is such that, had Dogberry and Verges turned compositors for the 
 " nonce, they could hardly have made it worse. Nor was advantage taken 
 "of a second edition to amend these gross, open, and palpable errors. 
 "Some glaring blunders are corrected in the second folio; but new 
 "blunders compensate for those which are removed. Of most ancient 
 "authors there are three or four copies at least, fortunately not agree- 
 ing in their several corruptions, and capable, therefore, of being em- 
 ployed as correctives .to one another. But the original text of Shak- 
 "speare has no similar privilege: his fairly - written manuscripts have 
 " vanished : no specimen of his handwriting, except his signature, existB : 
 " and for one Medicean codex, we posses only this precious budget of 
 "blunders which his friends and fellow-actors consecrated to their de- 
 ceased copartner's memory. 
 
 "The earlier editions — we still use the word by courtesy — of 
 "Shakspeare unfortunately appeared in an age of remarkably careless 
 "printing. When an author, indeed, severely corrected his own proofs, a 
 "book, then, as now, would come forth from the press in fair condi- 
 "tion. 'Shakspeare's Poems', for example, are nearly immaculate; for 
 " these, the favourites, if not the first fruits of his mind, He grudged no 
 "parental care". (Shakspearian Literature, Bentley's Quarterly No. III.) 
 
 The second folio edition appeared nine years after the first; viz. 
 in 1632; the third edition thirty-two years later, in 1664, (some of 
 its copies bearing the date of 1663); the fourth and last folio edition, 
 twenty-one years after, in 1685; and this completes the list of the 
 folio editions of the 17" 1 century. The number of copies of which each 
 of these editions consisted, when printed, is unfortunately quite un- 
 known. 
 
 Books were then costly, bookbuyers and collectors few. The great 
 mass of the public were illiterate; and a copy of Shakspeare was 
 probably a thing beyond their reach. Moreover, the puritanical spirit 
 of the time, which condemned all theatrical performances, had, naturally, 
 the effect of diminishing the interest which the public took and had 
 
taken, from the very first, in the representation of Shakspeare's plays. 
 Plays were denounced as immoral; theatres anathematized as very dens 
 of wickedness; — nay, even pillaged and burnt. The Stage was in 
 short execrated by the religious fanaticism of the' time, as nothing 
 less than the creation of hell. The Plague, and the terrible fire which 
 followed it, had decimated the inhabitants of London, and destroyed 
 both their trade and their property ; and in the fire vanished no doubt 
 many of the precious little 4 |Q editions of Shakspeare's plays. Then 
 came the Great Rebellion, and the Restoration ; and, under the influence 
 of the licentious taste of Charles II.'s time, no wonder the old dra- 
 matists were well nigh forgotten. 
 
 From 16S5 until 1709 no new edition of Shakspeare was 
 published; but with Rowe's edition begins an incessant and increasing 
 stream of new editions of Shakspeare, which has now swelled into a 
 perfect flood. Rowe's edition in 7 Volumes 8 vo appeared in 1709 — 10. 
 
 "After an interval of nearly 25 years", says a Reviewer*, "Rowe 
 " reminded the world of its intellectual hero. His edition of the Plays 
 "was a step in the right direction. There was hope of Rowe. He 
 "was a man of fortune, living to write, instead of writing to live. He 
 "was a good scholar, and had a poetical taste. He possessed one ad- 
 vantage as an editor of Shakspeare, independently of all literary 
 "gifts. At the period when he turned his attention to the subject, 
 "traditions of Stratford and the 'Globe' were quickly disappearing; 
 "memories of Shakspeare were dying out. What light yet lingered 
 " — and it was very small — Rowe did his best to fix and detain. 
 "As we said, in one respect he was peculiarly favoured. Rowe's first 
 "tragedy was produced in 1702, when Betterton played the hero, and 
 "we may assign his acquaintance with that actor to 1700. Betterton 
 "knew Davenant. Who does not remember the story which Aubrey 
 " tells, that when Davenant was pleased over a glass of wine, with an 
 "'intimate' like 'Hudibras Butler', he would say that it seemed to 
 "him that he 'writ with the very spirit of Shakspeare', and was not 
 "unwilling to have people think that there was good cause for the 
 "resemblance? Shakspeare died when Davenant was a boy of 1 1 years; 
 ".but we owe to him much of the little information about the poet 
 "which we possess. The biographer of Rowe informs us that he neither 
 "received much praise, nor seems to have expected it, for his Shak- 
 "spearian labours; but that he at least contributed to the popularity 
 "of his author." 
 
 After the publication of the 4"' folio edition, Shakspearian criti- 
 cism began to shew itself in England ; and the first form it took was 
 that of reviews of tragedies in general, combined with reflections on 
 Shakspeare in particular, such as were published by Rymer, in 1693. 
 His -criticisms however were more the attacks of a querulous cynic than 
 the comments of a sound thinker. Charles Knight remarks,** "We 
 "cannot agree with the author of an able article in the Retrospective 
 "Review, that 'these attacks on Shakspeare are very curious, as evincing 
 "how gradual has been the increase of his fame'; that their whole

"tone shows that the author was not advancing what he thought the 
 "world would regard as paradoxical or strange'; that 'he speaks as 
 "one with authority to decide'. So far from receiving Rymer's frenzied 
 "denunciations as an expression of public opinion, we regard them as 
 "the idiosyncrasies of a very singular individual, who is furious in the 
 "exact proportion in which the public opinion differs from his own. 
 " He attacks ' Othello' and ' Julius Caesar', especially, because Betterton 
 "had for years been drawing crowds to his performance in those tra- 
 gedies. He is one of those who glory in opposing the general' opinion." 
 
 Critics like Rymer, Gildon, Dennis etc.*" began to establish an 
 artistic code, based on the classical models of ancient Greece; and 
 every Shakspeariau drama was ineasured by its rules. It was the 
 same error which crept into the German mind a century later, — when 
 Aristotle's dogmas became the infallible standard of criticism for the 
 modern drama, — and which gave rise to such eccentric and confused 
 views regarding the greatness of Shakspeare. The idea that each cen- 
 tury produces new capacities; — that the national mind is stamped 
 upon the literature of each century; — that each poet must be judged 
 by the amount of his own original powers, — never entered the heads 
 of these, critics. Yet, however singular may have been the turn which 
 criticism took, the nation as a mass appears never to have been 
 wanting for a moment, in admiration of its great poet; and therefore 
 to say that Shakspeare was ever forgotten, ever neglected, is an error, 
 which is at once refuted by the continual demand for more and better 
 editions of his works. The fault finding commentators on Shakspeare 
 began to show how little they were qualified to judge the poet, by 
 their attempts to improve him. These "improvements" are the best 
 evidence of their disqualification as critics." "Poetic justice", continues 
 Charles Knight, "was one of the rules for which they clamoured. 
 "Duncan and Banquo ought not to perish in 'Macbeth', nor Desdemona 
 "in 'Othello', nor Cordelia and her father in 'Lear', nor Brutus in 
 '"Julius Caesar', nor young Hamlet in 'Hamlet'. So Dennis argues: 
 " — 'The good and the bad perishing promiscuously in the best of 
 " Shakspeare's tragedies, there can be either none or very weak instruc- 
 "tion in them'. — — The alteration of 'The Tempest' by Davenant 
 " and Dryden, was an attempt to meet the taste of the town by music 
 "and spectacle. Shad well went further, and turned it into a regular 
 "opera; and an opera it remained even in Garrick's time, who tried his 
 "hand upon the same experiment. Dennis was a reformer both in 
 "comedy and tragedy. He metamorphosed 'The Merry Wives of 
 "Windsor' into 'The Comical Gallant'; and prefixed an essay to it, 
 "on the degeneracy of the taste for poetry. Davenant changed 
 "'Measure for Measure' into 'The Law against lovers'." The Es- 
 sayists began to show better taste; for both the Taller and the Spec- 
 tator speak of Shakspeare as belonging to the first class of great 
 geniuses, together with Homer; and Addison had a sounder apprecia- 
 tion of the beauties of the poet than even his predecessors. 
 
 Since the appearance of Rowe's edition, Shakspearian criticism in 
 
 * Knight's Shakspeare Studies. 
 
England has been directed chiefly to the text. That higher aesthetical 
 criticism which was to bring the greatness of Shakspeare more 
 prominently into relief, by comparing him with the other giants of poetic 
 thought, has been left to the Germans; as we shall presently see. 
 These text criticisms, although numerous and of a higher standard than 
 before, were as yet neither very conspicuous nor productive of much 
 fruit. Proposals for new editions of Shakspeare, explanatory and cri- 
 tical notes on particular passages, answers to such criticisms, and 
 rejoinders thereto, examinations of and remarks upon the text, volumes of 
 selections, under the title "Beauties of Shakspeare", — these were the 
 literary productions contributed by England towards the illustration of 
 the dramatist's Works. 
 
 Pope's edition, in 6 Vols 4'°, appeared in 1725, handsomely 
 printed, and with an admirable preface. It was chiefly interesting for 
 the poet's criticism on Shakspeare and exhibits the progress of opinion 
 and judgement respecting the great dramatist. The text itself was 
 altered by Pope, as his fancy dictated; and it is therefore valueless. 
 
 Theobald's edition appeared in 7 Vols in 8 V ° in 1733; it was 
 collated after the first editions, and had so high a stamp of correct 
 text, that, according to Steeven's assertion, thirteen thousand Copies were 
 sold of the first edition. Warton gives him his due praise, when he 
 calls him the first publisher of Shakspeare who hit upon the rational 
 method of correcting his author by reading such books as he had 
 read. 
 
 Hanmer's edition appeared in 1 744, in six splendid quarto volumes, 
 printed at the Oxford University press ; — but it was as valueless as 
 that of Pope. 
 
 Pope's and Warburton's edition appeared in 1747; Hugh Blair's 
 in 1753; Johnson's in 1765; who "did but little, and that little was 
 not done well"; and Steeven's in 1766. 
 
 Dr. Farmer's eccentric "Essay on the learning of Shakspeare" 
 appeared in 1767, and went through four editions. Dr. Johnson 
 complimented Farmer in these words: — "You have done that which 
 never was done before; that is, you have completely finished a 
 controversy beyond all further doubt". Thus Dr. Farmer passed for 
 a very learned and conspicuous man, and William Shakspeare for a 
 very illiterate and obscure one.* 
 
 At about this period Shakspearian acting had risen to great 
 eminence, through the genius of David Garrick, whose personification 
 of Shakspearian characters was both novel and powerful. He appeared 
 for the first time, in the Goodmansfield Theatre, of which Gifford was 
 Lessee, in July 1741, and acted "Eichard the 3" 1 " with such success 
 that the great National Theatres stood empty, whilst the little theatre 
 was literally besieged. In 1747 he took Drury Lane, and was there 
 assisted by his fellow actors, Barry, Pritchard, and Cibber. It was 
 a result of Garrick's admiration for the great dramatist that the cele- 
 brated "Jubilee" was held, in commemoration of the Bard, at Stratford 
 on Avon, on the 6"' of September 1769.

 Jtfhn Kemble continued to keep up the public interest in Shakspearian 
 acting ; as did also his sister, Mrs. Siddons, the greatest tragic actress 
 whom England has produced. 
 
 Shakspeare has perhaps never been treated with more care, nor 
 have greater pains been expended upon his representation,, than at this 
 period. 
 
 A Glossary of the Plays of Shakspeare is extant, in which are 
 explained technical terms, words which have become obsolete or 
 uncommon, and common words used in an uncommon sense, by Richard 
 Warner. This work has -never been published, but the original manu- 
 script, consisting of 71 Volumes in quarto and octavo, is preserved in 
 the British Museum.* The original must have been written some time 
 between 1750 and 1770. It was a gigantic undertaking; and would 
 most likely have ruined any publisher who might have been bold 
 enough to meddle with it. Separate essays on the characters of 
 Hamlet,' Sir John Falstaif, Richard the 3"', and.Lear, with critiques upon 
 the faults of Shakspeare, occupied the literary world next. The extent, 
 indeed, to which the censure of Shakspeare was carried at this period 
 is both remarkable and characteristic; and shews the absence of any 
 high literary or critical principles; for, though every one admired 
 Shakspeare's genius, he was nevertheless constantly criticized on the score 
 of his supposed exaggeration in the developement of character, his 
 bombast, and his vulgarity. 
 
 In 1765 Johnson's edition of the great dramatist appeared, in 8 
 Vols 8"". This was** "the foundation of the "variorum editions", the 
 "principle of which has been to select from all, or nearly all existing 
 " commentaries, various and conflicting opinions upon the same passage. 
 "The respective value of the critics who had preceded him was fully 
 " discussed by Johnson in his preface. This branch of the' subject was 
 "only of temporary interest. But the larger portion of Johnson's 
 "preface not only to a certain extent represented the tone of opinion 
 " in Johnson's age, but was written with so much pomp of diction, with 
 " such apparent candour, and with such abundant manifestation of good 
 " sense, that perhaps more than any other production, it has influenced 
 " the public opinion of Shakspeare- up to this day." ■ 
 
 But the public admiration of Shakspeare was increasing in 
 England; and men began to devote half a life-time to the collection of 
 Shakspearian tracts and MSS. Capell, it is said, indeed, spent a whole 
 life in the study of Shakspeare; and transcribed his works ten times 
 with his own hand. 
 
 CapelPs "Shakspeariana", which is of great interest to scholars, 
 gives us a good idea of these collections; and still more so does the 
 following notice of his life. Capell*** "was deputy-inspector of plays; 
 and, as early as 1745, shocked at the licentiousness of Hanmer's 
 plan, he first projected an edition of Shakspeare, of the", strictest 
 accuracy to be collated and published in due time "ex fide codicum". 
 He immediately proceeded to collect and compare the oldest and scarcest 
 
 * MSS. Addit. J0.472 to 10,542.

copies: noting the original excellencies and defects of the rarest 
 quartos, and distinguishing the improvements or variations of the first, 
 second, and third folios. Three years after he put forth his own 
 edition, in 10 volumes, small octavo, with an introduction which was 
 printed (1768) at the expense of the principal booksellers of London, 
 who gave him 300 pounds for his labours. There is not, even among the 
 various publications of the present literary era, a more singular com- 
 position than this introduction. Its style and manner is actually more 
 obsolete and antique than that of the age of which it treats. Taken in 
 combination with the title page, it gives us, however, a perfect index to the 
 contents of the work ; and it began to rouse the attention of scholars, 
 and to interest them in Shakspearian studies. In the title page is 
 embodied the following announcement: — "Whereunto will be added, 
 in some other volumes, notes, critical and explanatory, and a body of 
 various readings entire." The introduction declared that these "notes 
 and various readings " would be accompanied by another work, disclosing 
 the sources from whence Shakspeare "drew the greater part of 
 his knowledge in mythological and classical matters, his fable, his 
 history and even the seeming peculiarity of his language", — "to which," 
 says Capell, "we have given for title, 'The School of Shakspeare'." 
 Twenty-three years had elapsed, in collection, collation, compilation, 
 and transcription 1 , between the conception and production of his pro- 
 jected edition; and even then it came, like its author, "naked into the 
 world"; for it had neither notes nor commentary, save the critical 
 matter dispersed through the introduction, and a brief account of the 
 origin of the fables of the several plays; with a table of the different 
 editions." 
 
 "But while he was diving into the classics of Caxton and working 
 his way under ground, like the river Mole, in order to emerge at last 
 with all his glories; — while he was looking forward, like the patient 
 miner who has struck upon a vein unworked by others, to his coming 
 triumphs ; — certain other active spirits went to work upon his plan, 
 and, digging out the promised treasures, laid them prematurely before 
 the public, destroying, by this anticipation of them, the whole effect of 
 our critic's discoveries. Stevens, Malone, Farmer, Percy, Reed, and a 
 host of other literary ferrets, burrowed into every hole and corner of 
 the warren of modern antiquity, and overran all the country which 
 had been mapped out by Edward Capell. Such a contingency stag- 
 gered the steady and hitherto unshaken, perseverance of our critic , at 
 the very eve of the completion of his labours; and, as his editor 
 informs us, — (for, alas! at the end of nearly forty years, the publica- 
 tion, was posthumous, and the critic himself no more!) ■ — he had 
 almost determined to lay the work wholly aside. He persevered 
 however; and after his death, in 1783, three large quarto volumes were 
 published, under the title of "Notes and various Readings of Shak- 
 speare": together with the "School of Shakspeare". He died on the 
 24 lh of January, 1781.*

 "The earlier (to which belong Ro we, Pope, Theobald, Hanmer and Johnson), 
 did not seek any very exact acquaintance with our early literature, 
 and would have despised the exhibition, if not the reality, of antiqua- 
 rian and bibliographical knowledge. A new school, however, subsequently 
 arose, whose acquaintance with what has been called black-letter litera- 
 ture was extensive enough to produce a decided revolution in Shak- 
 spearian criticism. Capell, Steevens, Malone, Reed and Douce, are its 
 representatives. The first school contained the most brilliant men; the 
 second, the most painstaking commentators. The dullest of the first school, 
 — who was branded as a mere dunce by his rival editor, — "poor, 
 piddling Tibbald", — was unquestionably its best specimen. Rome was 
 indolent, Pope, flashy; Wanhurton, paradoxical; Johnson, pedantic." 
 
 In 1773 appeared the edition of Johnson and Steevens, in 10 
 vols 8°. This text of Steevens', in which the peculiar versification of 
 Shakspeare, — with its freedom, its vigour, its variety of pause, its 
 sweetness, its majesty, — is sacrificed to what he called "polished 
 versification" has been received for nearly half a century as the standard 
 text.* The year 1790 produced Malone' s edition; and during the 
 entire century, as many as thirty thousand copies of Shakspeare were 
 dispersed through England. 
 
 The love of Shakspearian antiquity was indeed so great at this time, 
 that dishonest men began to forge documents relating to the poet, with 
 the object of foisting their trash upon his biographers and admirers. 
 The fabrications of Ireland (published in 1795) belonged to this class. 
 They created, at the time, a good deal of attention and controversy; 
 but were at last detected for what they really were, — i. e. mere for- 
 geries. The portraits known as the Stace Picture, and the Bellow's 
 Picture of the. poet, were also condemned as spurious. 
 
 If aesthetical criticism has come from Germany, England has at 
 any rate not been behind hand in doing that which no foreigner could 
 do for her national poet. 
 
 All that antiquarian research, and textual criticism could do, has 
 been done in this country. Shakspeare's admirers and students here, 
 have been, in truth, indefatigable. One of the most remarkable books 
 which have been published is Drake's "Shakespeare and his time"; 
 a work full of minute and valuable information respecting the manners, 
 customs, and superstitions of Shakspeare's age, and is in its peculiar line, 
 unrivalled to this day. 
 
 In the 19 th century the best editions of the dramatist have been 
 those of Chalmer in 1805, tfood in 1806, Ballantyne in 1807, Ma- 
 lone' s edition, re-edited by Bosrvell in 1821, Singer's in 1826 and 
 Valpy's in 1832. 
 
 A long period of time had passed, without the appearance of any 
 edition worthy to be called a progress in Shakspearian editorship. It 
 was not until 1838 that Charles Knight's "Pictorial Shakspeare" ap- 
 peared. The historical introductions, explanations and illustrations 
 which accompany this edition make it one of the most interesting ever 
 published. Its editor indeed has distinguished himself as a great Shak- 
 speaiian scholar. His life of the dramatist, his "Studies of Shakspeare" 
 
 * Knight's Studies.

 and his various editions of his plays and poems have secured for 
 Charles Knight a high and lasting position in Shakspearian literature. 
 
 In 1840 the " Shakspeare Society" was established, under the pre- 
 sidency of the Earl of Ellesmere. Its object was to publish books 
 illustrative of Shakspeare and of the literature of his time. The Society 
 lasted until 1853; and has published 48 volumes, some of them of 
 great interest in a historical point of view. 
 
 In 1841 Mr. Payne Collier published his edition of Shakspeare, 
 in 8 vols 8vo. It gave the collated text of the early editions in the 
 possession of the Duke of Devonshire; of the unique first "Hamlet" 
 of 1603, the first "Romeo and Juliet" of 1597, and many others. 
 The task was executed with that success which great knowledge of 
 the subject, and an intimate acquaintance with early English literature 
 could alone ensure. There has indeed been no man more indefatigable 
 than Mr. Collier in minute researches into Shakspearian lore. He has 
 made Shakspearian research the task of his whole life; and literature 
 owes him a lasting debt of gratitude. His "History of English 
 dramatic Poetry, and Annals of the Stage", have given us materials 
 which must form the foundation of Shakspearian inquiry for all future 
 time. We refer to our Catalogue for a more particular account of Mr. 
 Collier's lahours. 
 
 In his biography of Shakspeare, he examined the original sources 
 of information from the register of the poet's baptism, to the proof of 
 his will.* 
 
 In 1853 appeared the r* volume of Mr. J. 0. Halliwell's splendid 
 edition of Shakspeare, in 15 volumes folio, of which ten have already 
 been printed. The text is formed from a new collation of the early 
 editions; and the work includes the original novels and tales on which 
 the plays are founded, copious archaeological annotations on each play, 
 an essay on the formation of the text, and a life of the poet. The 
 subscription for a single copy of this gigantic work, wholly unsurpassed 
 in splendour, but from its costliness, inaccessible to the general public, 
 amounted to 63 Pounds. 
 
 In 1853 appeared Mr. Collier's new edition of Shakspeare. The 
 text was regulated by a newly discovered folio edition of 1632, con- 
 taining many hundred early marginal emendations, in manuscript. With 
 these "Notes and Emendations" a revolution began in the Shakspearian 
 world, and a long controversy 'known as the "Collier Contro- 
 versy") resulted from their publication. The dispute was as hot as 
 that respecting the Ireland forgeries, 70 years previous, and there 
 was even frequent mention of that odious word. The most serious 
 charges were brought against Collier by N. Hamilton in his well-known 
 work entitled "An Inquiry into the Genuinness of the Manuscript Cor- 
 rections in Mr. J. P. Collier's annotated Shakspeare of i 632, and of 
 certain Shakspearian Documents likewise published by Mr. Collier." 
 
 Mr. Collier in a letter which appeared in the Athenaeum of the 
 18 ,h February 1860, replied to these grave charges; and his reply 
 (which he afterwards published as a distinct pamphlet) **, not only gives 
 
 * Collier's "Reasons for a new edition of Shakspeare ". 
 ** "Reply to Mr. N. Hamilton's Inquiry into the imputed Shakspeare Forgeries, 
 
10 
 
 a bistorical account of this curious volume , but is in all respects 
 satisfactory, and Completely annihilates the charges of his' assailants. 
 There can be no doubt that the explanation which he gives is the true 
 one; and that the corrections, frequently striking, are by an unknown 
 hand, and a clever head. 
 
 In 1857 appeared Alexander Dyce's edition in 6 volumes 8vo and 
 in 1858 Howard Staunton's carefully edited edition, in 3 vols, with 
 illustrations. The year 1863 brought with it a new edition, by W. G. 
 Clark and John Glover, known as the "Cambridge Edition"; which is, 
 beyond all question, one of the best editions of Shakspeare which has 
 ever been issued from the press. 
 
 For we think the time has indeed past when we should allow any 
 literary dilettante to come forward and give us the text of Shakspeare 
 .according to his "new ideas", with his own new readings and correc- 
 tions. We want no more such editors as these; for they are at best 
 bad linguists, insufficiently acquainted with comparative philology; and 
 are generally self-opinionated enough to substitute a bad word for one 
 that is unintelligable. A man who has not proved himself to have the 
 proper qualifications, and who is not moreover intimately acquainted with 
 ancient English literature, has no pretention whatever to appear as a 
 text-monger of Shakspeare. We want the texts of the early editions, 
 however incorrectly they may have come down to us, with textual 
 emendations in the form of notes , but no further alterations of -the 
 text, except such as may be based on early and well authenticated edi- 
 tions. This is a sound rule, we think, for all future editors of the 
 great dramatist ; and we are happy to say the Cambridge editors have 
 set the example of adopting it. The plan which they have followed 
 is to take a good early edition of each play, and to quote in the an- 
 notation the different readings of the other early editions. We have 
 thus, • for the first time, obtained a complete text of Shakspeare's dramas. 
 
 Whilst this edition is appearing, reprints of the early Quarto's, a 
 " fac-simile " Shakspeare , and a host of new editions are being also 
 ushered in, to complete the literary Monument of 
 Shakspeare's Tercentenary.

 VALUE OF THE EARLY EDITIONS. 
 In a sale of the Library of the late Mr. George Daniel which occured in 
 August 1864 the Editions of Shakspeare fetehed the following prices: 
 
 SHAKSPEAKE. 
 
 "Shakspeare's Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies." Published according 
 to the true original copies. The excessively rare first edition; brilliant por- 
 trait by Droeshout, with the verses by Ben Jonson; folio in beautiful old 
 russia binding, preserved in a russia case. Printed by Isaac Jaggard and 
 Ed. Blount, 1623. A marvellous volume of unrivalled beauty, unquestionably 
 
 * "This edition was first issued in 1663" and Copies with this date, do not 
 contain the seven spurious plays. For minute details see: Lowndes Bibliographers 
 Manual " Shakespeare."

 the finest that has ever occured for public sale. This copy will to all future 
 time possess a world-wide reputation. It was bequeathed by Daniel Moore, 
 F, E. S., to William Henry Booth, who left it by will to John Gage Roke- 
 wode, from whom it passed to Mr, Daniel. Its beauty was first remarked 
 on by Dr. Dibdin in his " Library Companion ," 1 824. Interesting letters 
 attesting these facts are in the volume, and another from Mr. Lilly, offering 
 the sum of 300/. for it. — 682 guineas (bought for Miss Burdett Coutts). 
 
 " Shakspeare's Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies." The second impress- 
 ion. Portrait by Draeshout, and verses by Ben Jonson ; folio. In the original 
 calf binding. Printed by Tho. Cotes, for Robert Allot, and are to be sold 
 at his shop, at the signe of the blacke Beare, in Paul'schurchyard 1632. 
 "This genuine and beautiful copy of the second folio edition of Shakspeare's 
 plays was bought by Mr. Thorpe at the sale of the library at Neville Holt, 
 Leicestershire, and bought of him by me this the 16th day of September 
 (my Birth-day), 1848. I never saw its equal for soundness and size." — 
 George Daniel, Canonbury. Of the purest quality from beginning to end, 
 and the largest example known — 148/. (Boone). 
 
 "Shakspeare's Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies." The third impress- 
 ion. Portrait .by Droeshout, the verses by Ben Jonson underneath. Folio, 
 green morocco extra, with gilt borders inside, and joints, by C. Lewis. London, 
 printed for P. C. , 1664. . . . The publishers of the fourth edition of 1685 
 appear to have considered the destruction of the third edition so extensive, 
 as to entitle them to treat it as a nonentity, and accordingly say upon 
 their title-page , " unto which is added seven playes never before printed in 
 folio," though they had been previously added to this issue of the third edi- 
 tion, a certain proof of its great rarity, even in those days. "The present 
 copy is a remarkably fine, sound, and tall one, in the most genuine state." 
 —r Note by Mr. Daniel. It is ceitainly a copy of unmatchable beauty — 
 46/. (Lilly). 
 
 " Shakspeare's Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies." The fourth edition. 
 Folio. Portrait by Droeshout, the verses underneath. Printed for H. Her- 
 ringman, E. Brewster, and R. Bentley, 1685. A magnificent copy; blue

 SKETCH OF THE PROGRESS OF SHAKSPEARIAN CRITICISM, 
 
 AND OF THE GRADUAL APPRECIATION OF SHAKSPEARE 
 
 IN 
 
 GERMANY. 
 
 It was the custom of English strolling actors, towards the end of 
 the sixteenth century, to visit Germany, and to give performances of 
 the plays they brought with them, in the larger towns, and at the courts 
 of the petty princes. They acted plays which were of a type and 
 character quite new to a public accustomed to the "Miracle-plays", or 
 "Mysteries", and "Moral-plays"; — a species of performance even 
 now repeatedly witnessed in Germany, in the obscure places of the 
 Catholic South. 
 
 The route these actors took was generally that of Holland, to the 
 North of Germany, and along the Rhine, to Frankfort. 
 
 No time could have been more favourable for their appreciation, 
 and the consequent introduction of a new species of dramatic represen- 
 tation. There is indeed no period of German literature more barren 
 than that which lies between 1590 and 1610; for in these twenty years 
 scarcely five poetical works were printed ; and even these are of doubt- 
 ful merit. These Shakspearian actors were at first genuine Englishmen, 
 who acted in their mother-tongue ; but their plays were afterwards either 
 translated entire, or adaptations were made of them in German; and 
 they were then performed by German companies, under the title of 
 " Englische Komodianten"- . 
 
 We may fairly surmise that Shakspeare was known to the Germans, 
 even during his life time ; for German statesmen, savants, and merchants 
 were continually in England ; and cannot have altogether abstained from 
 visiting the theatres of London, during the reign of James I. In the 
 year 1614, a young man from Zurich, by name Johann Rudolf Hess, 
 (who afterwards became a member of the Senate), stayed in England; 
 and on his return , brought home , amongst other books , copies of 
 Shakspeare's "Hamlet", and "Romeo and Juliet", and Ben Jonson's 
 "Volpone"; which, together with a copy of George Wilkin's Tale, 
 "Pericles", have been found in the Library of Zurich. 
 
 There is a translation extant in Germany* of the Episode from 
 
 * Kobersleins Shakspeare's allmahliches Bekanntwerden in DeutscMand tind 
 Urtheile liber ihn bis zum Jahre 1773.

 the "Midsumer .Night's Dream", which was published in the middle of 
 the 17' 1 ' century. It is the well known farce by Gryphius, entitled 
 "Absurda Comicaj)der Hen- Peter Squenz". 
 
 Tieck maintains that it was taken from a composition by R. Cox, 
 who transposed the episode in question; but, whether derived from this 
 work or not, it is, in any case, the first Shakesperian piece which we 
 find to have been adapted for the German language ; and it proves that 
 one of Shakspeare's pieces was actually performed in Germany by English 
 actors, before the year 1636. This is not, however, the only one of 
 Shakspeare's dramas which found its way, at that early period, into 
 Germany. The English comedians brought "Romeo", "Hamlet" and 
 ,the "Merchant of Venice" with them; and most of these were adapted 
 i for the German Stage, and performed repeatedly by German actors, 
 in cities, villages, and barns, throughout the whole of the 1 7"' century. 
 
 In 1670 a work was published, in three volumes, entitled "Schau- 
 biilme englischer und franzosischerKomOdianten", which contained pieces 
 recently acted on the English, French and German stages; and this 
 leaves no doubt that "Romeo and Juliet", "Hamlet", and the "Merchant 
 of Venice", were performed by German players in the 17 lh century. 
 A copy of a German play has been found by E. Deyrient*, entitled 
 "Romeo und 'Julieta", which proves to be an adaptation from Sbak- 
 speare; and a translation of "Hamlet" has been discovered in Germany, 
 under the title of "Tragodie: der bestrafte Brudermord oder Prinz 
 Hamlet aus Danemark", which must have been adapted early in the 
 18"' century. 
 
 Daniel Georg Morhof, who published, in 1632, his "Unterricht 
 von der deutschen Sprache und Poesie", said, that John Dryden had 
 written with much erudition on "Dramatica Poesi"; but of the English- 
 men whom he mentions therein, viz. Shakspearc, Fletcher, and Beaumont, 
 Morhof candidly confesses that he knows nothing. 
 
 The next German author who mentions Shakspeare is Berthold 
 Feind in his book entitled "Gedanken von der Oper", printed in 1708. 
 It is doubtful whether he had absolutely read Shakspeare ; but Gervinus 
 seems to think he had. This author sayd: Mr. le Chevalier Temple, 
 in his 'Essai de la podsie', "informs us that some people had absolutely 
 cried aloud, and had wept whilst hearing read English tragedies of 
 the renowned English tragici, Shakspeare". Not long after, we find 
 Benthem mentioning Shakspeare, in his "Englischen Schul und Kirchen 
 Staat" (Chapter 29.) in the following very quaint manner: — "William 
 "Shakspear kam zu Stradford in Warwickshire auf die Welt. Seine 
 "Gelehrtheit war sehr schlecht; und daher verwunderte man sich um 
 "desto mehr, dass er ein furtrefflicher Poeta war. Er hatte einen sinn- 
 " reichen Kopf, voller Scherz und war in Tragoedien und Comoedien so 
 "glucklich, dass er auch einen Heraclitum zum Lachen und einen De- 
 "mocritum zum Weinen bewegen konnte."** 
 
 In the " CompendiSsen Gelehrten- Lexicon", by Jocher, published 
 in 1715, there is also a very quaint article on Shakspeare, which 
 somewhat resembles the former, and which we will quote in the original : 
 
 * Devrient, Geschichte der Schauspielkunst. Vol. I. 
 ** Esohenburg, Ueber Shakspeare. 1787. pag. 498.

 — "Shakespear (Wilh.) tin englischcr Dramatieus, geboren zu Stratford 
 "1564, war schlecht auferzogen und verstund kein Latein. Jedoch 
 "brachte er es in der Poesie sehr hoch. Er hatte ein scherzhafftes 
 " Gemiithe, kunte aber doch sebr enisthaft seyn, und excellirte in Tragodien. 
 "Er hatte viel sinnreiche und subtile Streitigkeiten mit Ben Jonson, 
 "wiewohl keiner von beyden viel damit gewann. Er starb zu Stratford 
 "1616, 23. April im 53. Jahre. Seine Schau- und Trauer-Spiele, deren 
 "er sehr viel geschrieben, sind in VI Theilen 1709 zu London zusam- 
 " mengedruckt, und werden sehr hoch gehalten." 
 
 But, even in the year 1737, Shakspeare's name was so little known 
 in Germany that there is no mention made of him in the second edition 
 of Gottsched's "Kritische Dicbtkunst", of that date; though in the 
 third edition, published in i 742, he is alluded to several times. Even 
 Bodmer, a German critic of great celebrity in his time, only "knew 
 something of an English poet, 'Saspar', or 'Sasper'," — meant for 
 "Shakespeare", and written down (no doubt) after hearing an imperfect 
 pronunciation of the name. Still, this only proves his complete igno- 
 rance of the poet. 
 
 In the year 1741 was published a translation of "Julius Caesar", 
 by Caspar Wilhelm von Borck, who had been Prussian Ambassador in 
 London. This translation was by no means bad ; but it suited Gottsched, 
 who was then the critical oracle, to review it in "den Beitragen zur 
 Deutschen Sprache", one of the chief periodicals of the time, and to 
 speak in very unfavourable terms of the author. He even went so far 
 as to advise the translator to desist from importing any more tragedies 
 of that sort into Germany, and counselled him, to choose better models 
 in future. 
 
 Shortly after this notice, an article appeared, in the same Journal, 
 by Johann Elias Schlegel (1718 — 1749), which compared Shakspeare 
 with Gryphius. This is an important article, regarded as a specimen 
 of early Shaksperian criticism in Germany; and (strange to say!) 
 written by a namesake (no relation, I believe) of the great German 
 translator of Shakspeare half a century later. This Schlegel expresses 
 in the article in question a strong predilection for the French school of 
 dramatic writing, and the arrangements of the French Stage; but gives 
 Shakspeare so far his due as to praise him very highly for the skilful 
 developement of his characters. It is surprising to find, however, that 
 he considers Gryphius eminently superior in ideas, to the English dra- 
 matist ; for the plays of Gryphius are, in good truth, the most " stale, 
 flat, and unprofitable" declamations imaginable; — utterly tasteless and 
 barren ! But such criticisms, coming from abroad, must not surprise us ; 
 for even Wieland, who translated Shakspeare twenty years after, per- 
 petrated the most extraordinary criticisms on this author, pronouncing 
 him, for instance, to be "full of chaff and empty straw"! German 
 literature and criticism were certainly -at that time merely in a transitory 
 state; the fashion being, to aim at an uncertain imitation of the pre- 
 valent French taste. Gottsched (who had already received a warning), 
 was delighted to review, in his Journal, in 1755, Mrs. Lennox's "Shak- 
 speare illustrated", with the view of showing, how poor were the 
 dramatist's powers of invention, and how much use he made of the 
 tales of other writers. 
 
 4*

 It was at this particular juncture that Voltaire wrote, "Shakspeare, 
 "le Corneille de Londres, grand fou d'ailleurs, mais il a des morceaux 
 "admirables". These few lines had, perhaps, more influence than any- 
 thing else in introducing Shakspeare to the German public generally; 
 whilst they also drew the attention of the French more seriously than 
 before to the works of the great English dramatist. In 1755, Lessing's 
 "Miss Sara Sampson" appeared; and, three years later, his powerful 
 pen was actively wielded in defence of Shakspeare. 
 
 The reform of the tasteless criticism which we have indicated was 
 begun in good earnest by Lessing and Nicolai, at Berlin. Nicolai wrote, 
 in 1756, an article in the " Theatralische Bibliothek", entitled "Ge- 
 schichte der Englischen Schaubiihne", in which he completely extinguished 
 Gottsclied and his French imitators, and called the special attention of 
 the public to Shakspeare, Beaumont, Fletcher, and Ben Jonson, — great 
 geniuses, he maintained, who had raised the theatre to what it then 
 was. Nicolai had said, in the "Bibliothek der deutschen Wissenschaf- 
 ten", whilst reviewing Gottsched's "Geschichte der deutschen dramati- 
 schen Dichtkunst", that "nobody" would deny Gottsched's influence on 
 the German drama. Lessing took up the subject from the opposite 
 point of view, in his "Literaturbriefe"; and replied that he was this 
 "Nobody", and that he denied the influence of Gottsched altogether. 
 He even maintained that Gottsched had done more harm than good, 
 by his criticisms. It was Lessing who said that, judging Shakspeare 
 even by the standard models of the ancients, he was a much greater 
 tragic poet than Corneille. After Sophocles' "Oedipus", he continued, 
 no tragedies in the world had greater power over our passions than 
 "Othello", "Lear", and "Hamlet". In 1762 appeared the first volume 
 of Wieland's translation of Shakspeare, (consisting of 8 Volumes, in all) ; 
 which was much praised and recommended by Lessing, in his " Drama- 
 turgic ". But although Wieland's translation was not bad, the notes 
 which he appended to it, influenced as they were by Pope's then recent 
 criticisms, were remarkably peculiar and curious. .He deplored that 
 Shakspeare wrote so much in rhyme, and maintained that he had but 
 a very imperfect knowledge of verse. 
 
 Meantime Lichteriberg, the clever describer of Hogarth's paintings, 
 and Sturz, a talented prose writer, gave minute descriptions of the 
 acting of Garrick, which they had seen in England; and Wieland's 
 perverse criticism on Shakspeare, found an ardent assailant in the young 
 dramatist, H. W. Gerstenberg, the author of the famous tragedy of 
 "Ugolino", who was a complete Shaksperian enthusiast. He attacked 
 Wieland's translation and notes, in ' an article inserted in the " Briefe 
 tiber Merkwiirdigkeiten der Literatur", in 1766; in which, also, he 
 suggested some remarkable ideas on the genius of Shakspeare. But 
 the Shaksperian movement had already reached those young and 
 enthusiastic writers who were destined to raise German literature to 
 the high pitch of eminence which it soon afterwards attained. Some 
 were then at the University of Goettingen; others at Strasbourg. At 
 the former was Burger, at the latter Herder, Goethe, and Lenz. 
 
 Herder wrote an article on Shakspeare in 1771 in the "Blatter 
 von deutscher Art und Kunst", which was undoubtedly the most ad- 
 vanced in its notions on Shakspeare, of any yet published; for be 
 
53 
 
 deprecated altogether the idea of contrasting Shakspeare's dramas with 
 those of Sophocles, or the other Greek dramatists. Wieland's trans- 
 lation was followed, in 1775, by Escheriburg's : and, however unsatis- 
 factory this last may have been as a whole its author's actuating motive 
 was, at any rate, sound and laudable. He felt that a prose translation 
 of "Romeo and Juliet" was impossible; and he therefore tried a poetical 
 one, which in spite of all its shortcommings, was really a very laudable 
 performance. * 
 
 To introduce so great a genius as Shakspeare to the German 
 public in such a manner as to make him become his own defender, 
 and the winner of his own greatness, — required both a good trans- 
 lator and a good actor. Germany was lucky in finding a Garrick, in 
 the person of F. L. Schroder, who had an able coadjutor in Fleck. 
 The former became remarkable for his representations of Hamlet, Lear, 
 Macbeth and Othello, the four principal characters in which he earned 
 his well-merited laurels. Then we had Iffland's "Lear"; which has, 
 perhaps, never been rivalled, even in England. Through the exertions 
 of these actors it was, that the general public began, at last, to 
 acknowledge the greatness of Shakspeare. We say the general public : 
 for the dramas of our poet had already exercised their influence upon 
 all the great German writers. Goethe had attentively read them, even 
 when at Strasbourg; and there is no doubt but that "Goetz von Ber- 
 lichingeii" was the result of those Shakespearian studies. When, however, 
 he wrote his magnificent critique on "Hamlet", in "Wilhelm Meister's 
 Lehrjahre", it at once stamped Shakspeare as the gratest of dramatic 
 poets. 
 
 Schiller, who had more difficulty with the language, went so far, 
 notwithstanding, as to translate "Macbeth". Voss also brought out 
 a Shakspearian translation; but he know Greek far better than English, 
 and it produced but little effect. 
 
 At last the Eomantic School of Germany took up the great dra- 
 matist; and August Wilhelm Schlegel commenced translating some of 
 his plays. It is a curious piece of literary labour, this splendid and 
 really classical translation, which is now known under the title of 
 "Schlegel's und Tieck's Shakspeare"; for it must not be supposed that 
 such a work was finished off-hand, as though by some "deus ex ma- 
 china". By no means. Schlegel translated one half of Shakspeare, 
 and what he has done is done in so masterly a way as to make it 
 a great loss to German literature, that he did not translate the whole. 
 For although A. W. Schlegel has left behind him, many learned and 
 valuable works, he has achieved nothing better or greater, in his whole life, 
 than this wondrously close and correct translation of Shakespeare's dramas. 
 
 "There is but one opinion", remarks Delius**; "and that is that 
 "Schlegel's translation, which has made the writings of the foreign poet 
 "a common treasure to the German people, is still, as it was at the 
 "beginning of our century, a piece- of inimitable perfection ; and we can 
 "only regret that he translated but 17 out of the 36 dramas of 
 " Shakspeare." 
 
 * Horn, "Shakspeare in Deutschland ", 
 ** Delius, "Die Tieck'sche Shakspeare-Kiitik". 
 
54 
 
 Tieck, following in his track, published his " Altenglisches Theater" 
 translations, with critical and historical introductions. Partial editions 
 of Shakspeare's works were now published, translated by Schlegel and 
 Eschenburg, and by Tieck and Eschenburg. Then came the translations 
 of Voss and his sons. At last (1797 to 1823) appeared the first col- 
 lected edition, translated by A. W. Schlegel, "erganzt und erlautert 
 von Ludwig Tieck". The second part of the 9 1 ' 1 volume which finished 
 the work, was not published till 1830; but even this did not contain 
 all the remaining plays of Shakspeare. The first absolutely complete 
 edition came out in 1833, in 9 volumes. 
 
 A great many of the plays were translated by Count Wolff von 
 Baudissin*, a very elegant translator; and six were the work of Tieck's 
 daughter, Dorothea. Ludwig Tieck himself did not even translate a 
 single play; but he was the editor and critic of the whole work, and 
 went over all the translations with great care. His corrections indeed 
 were so numerous, that it would be difficult to deny him the credit of 
 having taken a share in the work. There are still, however, many 
 incorrect readings in the revised translations; and it would be well, in 
 many instances, to restore Schlegel's words as they stood at first. 
 Notwithstanding these few drawbacks, Germany possesses in this 
 translation of Shakspeare one which it will be difficult indeed to rival, 
 and which is only second to the original itself; for it reechoes the soul 
 of the poet's language, as no translation has ever done before, in any 
 tongue in the world. In addition to this principal translation, there 
 are many others ; — (those, ~f. i., by Jos. Meyer, Benda, Julius KOrner, 
 A. BOttger, and E. Ortlepp), — which are more or less creditably 
 executed. 
 
 It is not however through translations only that the Germans have 
 become acquainted with the great bard. They have investigated his 
 original writings themselves, and by the many erudite critiques which 
 they have published thereon, have obtained a prominent place in Shak- 
 spearian literature. 
 
 It has been our endeavour, in these short and rapid sketches, to 
 let each country speak through its own critics in such a manner as 
 to show how each has progressed in the study and appreciation of 
 Shakspeare. We have accordingly quoted the English Keviewer as an 
 authority for his own country**, which he may be fairly presumed to be; 
 not so however for Germany ; for he has scarcely a perception of what the 
 Germans have done for Shakspeare. "To Germany", he says, "Europe 
 "owes much of its relish for Shakspeare. On the other hand, it has 
 "derived from the same source much that is obscure, fantastic, and 
 " bewildering , — theories inconsistent with sense or likelihood, 
 ^interpretations that darken, and fancies that lead astray." 
 
 This then is the impression he carries away with him from his 
 German studies. Now let us see what Germany has really done, to 
 show her appreciation of Shakspeare's greatness.

 English criticism on Shakspeare was but mediocre, even to the 
 beginning of the present century. It was unknown in England that 
 Lessing, the great German critic, had given Shakspeare his proper place 
 in the literature of the world forty years previously. The German 
 mind, had thus assigned him his rank in the World of Poets, 
 before England herself so much as dreamed of doing so. It was 
 Lessing who first declared that Shakspeare was the poet "hut' 
 t^oyjjv" of the modern world, just as Homer was of Antiquity. And 
 it resulted from such mighty words, uttered by so great a genius, that 
 our dramatist stepped for the first time into his true and rightful 
 position, and was acknowledged on all hands as the brightest planet in 
 the literary universe. And this verdict, thus publicly delivered before 
 the tribunal of Europe, was not arrived at hastily: it was the result 
 of deep study, thorough investigation, complete understanding, and true 
 appreciation of the dramatist. The delivery of this marvellous judge- 
 ment, — at a time, too, when France was still ridiculing the dramatic 
 giant, and even England was questioning his knowledge, of Latin and 
 Greek, — is the best proof which can be offered of Lessing's own 
 greatness. This, then, the Germans have done for Shakspeare; and 
 since that time the study of the British poet has been such, in Germany, 
 that no other foreign writer ever received the like, nor [in all proba- 
 bility) ever will again.* 
 
 The Germans have moreover contributed greatly towards the due 
 appreciation of Shakspeare by other continental nations, which are all 
 more or less influenced by German literature and German learning. 
 When Goethe wrote his article "Shakspeare und kein Ende", he looked, 
 like a seer of old, into the future, and predicted that Shakspearian 
 literature was then only in its infancy ; — that the coming investigations 
 and criticisms would create a "Library", of themselves; — but he could 
 scarcely have foreseen how far that aesthetical enquiry would lead which 
 was begun by Lessing and was followed up by Schlegel, in his famous book 
 " Vorlesungen liber dramatische Literatur und Kunst", and afterwards by 
 Tieck. It could scarcely have been within his ken that the spirit of 
 German criticism would, as the English Reviewer says, "awaken new 
 " echoes in England, and produce in Coleridge, and mediately in Lamb 
 "and Hazlitt, a succession of commentators as superior to Steevens, 
 "Farmer and Malone as a blade of Damascus steel is to a common 
 "reaping-hook". This sufficiently shows the proud preeminence of 
 German literature, and the influence it exercised on the great minds of 
 England; — and yet we must not forget that the most searching 
 works, — the best commentaries and the most profound criticisms which 
 have been written on Shakspeare in Germany. — are the offspring of the 
 last few years. We may mention particularly Ulrici's " liber Shakspeare's 
 dramatische Kunst", Delins' Shakspearian Criticisms, Kreysig's "Vor- 
 lesungen iiber Shakspeare, seine Zeit und seine Werke", and (the last 
 and crowning effect of German criticism) "Gervinus' Shakspeare", a 
 critical and historical work, unmatched in the literature of any country 
 for the power of appreciation and the critical acumen which are brought 
 to bear upon the great author under illustration. Not only does 
 
 * Lemcke, Shakspeare in seinem Verhaltnisse zu Deutschland. 
 
56 
 
 Gervinus give a life of the dramatist, based on the elaborate materials 
 which English literature has provided; but he analyzes each play, 
 investigates its tendencies, follows it in its developement, and examines 
 with the most minute detail every character in it, subordinate as well 
 as principal. 
 
 Bodenstedt's excellent translations of Shakspeare's sonnets was the 
 only thing wanting to give a complete Shakspeare to the German race. 
 
 We must not omit to mention the influence exercised upon Shak- 
 spearian studies by the German actors, who, deriving their dramatic 
 education from the literature of Germany, contributed by their art, to 
 imbue the characters of Shakspeare with life and spirit, and who, 
 indeed, made his plays as immortal on the German stage, as Garrick, 
 Kean, Eemble and Mrs. Siddons had made them on that of England. 
 Germany was especially fortunate in Ludwig Devrient's "Shylock", 
 which can never be surpassed; while other Shakspearian actors, such 
 as Beck, Esslar, Seidelmann, Dessoir, and (as representatives of female 
 characters) Sophie Schr5der," Wolf, and Stich, have been worthy rivals 
 of the best of their profession in England. 
 
 We close this article with the words uttered by Prof. Lemcke*, 
 at Marburg, on the occasion of the Shakspeare commemoration: 
 
 " Man sag-t nun wohl : eben desshalb sind wir Deutschen so tief in 
 "das Verstandniss Shakspeare's eingedrungen, eben desshalb ist dieser 
 "Dichter ein solcher Liebling unserer Nation geworden, weil seine Nation 
 "der unsrigen stammverwandt, weil der Geist, der uns aus des Dichters 
 " Werken anmnthet, vorherrschend ein germanischer ist. Es heisst, meiner 
 "Ansicht nach, dem deutschen Geiste ein Ararathszeugniss ausstellen, 
 "wenn man jene Stammverwandtschaft als die Brticke betrachten will, 
 "die uns zu Shakspeare geftihrt hat. Legen wir auch in diesem Falle 
 "einmal unsere sprichwortlich gewordene Bescheidenheit bei Seite und 
 "sagen wir es offen heraus: nicht die Stammverwandtschaft mit seiner 
 "Nation, nicht die Kiindgebungen germanischen Geistes in seinen Dich- 
 " tungen sind es, was uns Shakspeare so nahe gebraeht, sondern es ist 
 "jene uns Deutschen vor andern Velkern verliehene Gottergabe, vermoge 
 " deren wir den achten Genius, welcher Nation er auch angehore, besser 
 "als andere Nationen, besser oft als seine eigene, zu begreifen, seine 
 "Gaben besser zu geniessen und uns anzueignen vermogen. Wir ver- 
 "stehen und lieben Shakspeare vermoge desselben deutschen Geistes, 
 "welcher auch den Italienern geholfen hat, ihren Dante zu verstehen, 
 "welcher den Spaniern geholfen hat, ihre Romanzen zu ordnen, und 
 "welcher jetzt noch immer den Franzosen hilft, die Schatze ihrer mittel- 
 " alterlichen Literatur zu erforschen. Wir verstehen und lieben Shakspeare 
 "vermoge jener Faustnatur unserer Nation, welche instinktmassig den 
 "Geist wittert, wo die Wagnersaugen anderer Nationen nichts sehen; 
 "als einen schwarzen Pudel, mit einem Worte — wir verstehen und 
 "lieben Shakspeare, weil wir wirklich jenes 'Volk von Denkern' sind, 
 "als welches die anderen Volker uns so oft schon mit schlecht ver- 
 '>hehltem Unmuth anzuerkennen genothigt gewesen sind!"

 SKETCH OF THE PROGRESS OF SHAKSPEARIAN CRITICISM, 
 
 AND OF THE GRADUAL APPRECIATION OF SHAKSPEAPJ 
 
 IN 
 
 FRANCE. 
 
 Voltaire, says Guizot, in his "Shakspeare et son temps", was the 
 first person in France, who spoke of Shakspeare's genius ; and although 
 he spoke of it merely as a barbarous genius, yet the literary public 
 of France were of opinion that Voltaire had said too much in the 
 dramatist's favour. Indeed they thought it nothing less than profanation, 
 to apply the words "genius" and "glory" to the writer of dramas which 
 they considered to be as crude as they were coarse. 
 
 At the present day all controversy regarding -Shakspeare's genius 
 and glory has come to an end. A greater question has arisen now; — 
 namely, whether Shakspeare's dramatic power is not infinitely superior 
 to that of Voltaire, Racine, or Comeille. 
 
 These words contain the essence of that controversy which originated 
 with Voltaire, and to which the French nation is indebted for the 
 importation of Shakspeare into France. 
 
 Dramatic writers, such as Saint-Evremond, Lamotte and Lafosse, 
 knew Shakspeare well. The best account of the way in which he 
 influenced them and the French theatre generally, will be found in 
 "Albert Lacroix's histoire de l'influence de Shakspeare sur le theatre 
 francais." How the great dramatist became known to the mass of the 
 French people, may be seen in Guizofs chapter, "Shakspeare in France", 
 which gives a good analysis of the subject. 
 
 It was Voltaire who wrote, in his "Lettres sur les Anglais",* 
 thus: — "En Angleterre Shakspeare cr6a le theatre. II avait un genie 
 "plein de force et de fecondite, de naturel et de sublime; mais sans 
 "la moindre 6tincelle de bon gout, et sans la moindre connaissance 
 "des regies." 
 
 Mrs. Montague's " Essay on the writings and genius of Sakspeare ", 
 was specially directed against this Voltairian criticism; but it was a 
 useless effort; for French literature could surely correct such criticism 
 
 * Dix-huitieme lettre, "de la tragedie".

 for itself much better ; just as the Germans had, in similar circumstances, 
 followed their own path of inquiry, and- determined the value of the 
 dramatist themselves. 
 
 The first French translation which appeared was that of Letourneur, 
 in 20 Vols. 80. (1776—83). It had the notes of Warburton, Steevens, 
 and Johnson, and the comments of Eschenburg's German translation; 
 but, carefully as it seems to have been edited, it gave but a faint idea 
 of Shakspeare's genius. Letourneur, says Phil. Chasles*, "usait d'un 
 "proce'de' que l'ignorance gendrale lui rendait facile. Sur la trame 
 "anglaise il jetait le coloris et la rh&orique gallo-latins ; au lieu de 
 "penelrer dans les mysteres du genie stranger, il les supprimait." 
 
 But, Letourneur was a bold man. In spite of the sarcastic sneers 
 of Voltaire, in spite of the storm the latter tried to create against 
 him, in spite of the adverse judgement of Marmontel, Letourneur upheld 
 Shakspeare as the sovereign genius of the stage, placing him above 
 both Corneille and Racine. He attacked the classical system and its 
 narrowness, rejected the rules of unity, counselled an assiduous study 
 of Shakspeare, and finally manifested a desire that his dramas should 
 be acted in Paris. There is no doubt either of Letourneur's talent, or 
 of his thorough appreciation of Shakspeare; and he certainly deserves 
 the highest consideration for having stood so manfully by his author. 
 Besides, with all his faults he has left behind him "une oeuvre utile, 
 "une oeuvre qui joue un grand r61e dans la revolution dramatique: elle 
 " donna un chef au mouvement, elle offrit le modele d'un genre impar- 
 "faitement connu en France."* 
 
 Diderot was one of the first who opposed Voltaire, and spoke of 
 Shakspeare with knowledge and reverence. He wrote (in the Encyclopedic) 
 on the genius of Shakspeare, thus: — "qui n'eut jamais de maitre 
 "ni d'egal;" — and he proclaimed that" this author was endowed with 
 "talents personnels dans lesquels il surpasse tous les poetes du monde 
 " . . . . et malgre ses deTauts , il mente d'etre mis au - dessus de toua 
 "les dcrivains dramatiques de 1'Europe". So bold an opinion had a 
 wonderful influence on French criticism. Madame de Stael, St. Martin, 
 Benjamin Constant, and Lemercier" were more or less roused by it ; and 
 new attacks were soon made by d'Alembert, Marmontel, Pallissot, and 
 M. Joseph Chenier. 
 
 After Letourneur, and until the epoch of the social revolution in 
 1789, Bayle occupied himself with Shakspeare, speaking of him with 
 great praise ; and, by .degrees, a purer taste developed itself in many 
 French minds with reference to the writings of the English dramatist. 
 Thus Lucas, in his "Histoire du theatre francais", says of him: — 
 " Une seule scene de Shakspeare eclaire plus un artiste, que cette foule 
 " des tragedies oil toutes les regies • sont observers scrupuleusement, 
 "hors la plus essentielle, qui est d'interesser et de plaire." But the 
 opposition to Shakspeare did. not die out with Voltaire. His disciples, 
 and other Voltairian fanatics, who had imbibed his prejudices and anti- 
 pathies, continued the abuse. D'Alembert never admitted the merit of 
 
 * Phil. Chasles, "Etudes sur Shakspeare"; — le chapitre "des traductours 
 de Shakspeare". 
 
 ** Lacroix, histoire de l'iuflueuce. page 200.

 the English dramatist; nor was Marmontel able to understand him in 
 the least; for he wrote of him; — "Shakspeare n'a jamais connu cette 
 "pitie' douce qui penetre insensiblement, qui se saisit des coeurs et qui, 
 "les pressant par degrds, leur fait gouter le plaisir doux de se soulager 
 "par des larmes". La Harpe followed Marmontel in his ignorance; 
 and considered Shakspeare, only as a "gross and mediocre" poet! 
 
 Marie- Joseph Chenier, another disciple of Voltaire, imitated 
 his master's abuse; but his brother, Andre Chenier, who had lived 
 some years in England, became his antagonist and the defender of the 
 dramatist, whose pieces he had seen, and whom he had learned to 
 appreciate and admire in that country. With the French Revolution 
 the dispute died out; but during the period of the Empire a real 
 " Shakspearian school" arose in France. 
 
 The enthusiastic Madame de Stael, who had visited England, and 
 was moreover much influenced by German ideas, had written with great 
 spirit on Shakspeare, in her book "de la Litte"rature". "II y a dans 
 "Shakspeare," she says, "des beautes du premier genre (sublimes) et 
 "de tous les pays comme de tous les temps. Shakespeare commence 
 "une literature nouvelle: il est empreint, sans doute, de 1'esprit et de 
 "la couleur generale des podsies du Nord, mais c'est lui qui a donne 
 "a la literature des Anglais son impulsion, et a leur art dramatiqne 
 "son caractere". These were great words, with which the era of 
 Shaksperian appreciation was opened in France; but, not content with 
 this, their writer urged an imitation of the English dramatist, as the 
 only thing which could rescue the French theatre from destruction. 
 
 In 1801 Charles Nodier published a volume entitled "Pensees de 
 Shakspeare", and gave translations from Schiller and other German 
 dramatists, who were full of admiration for Shakspeare; and the book 
 had a considerable, though indirect influence on French writers. But it 
 was in particular Schlegel's work on ancient and modern dramatic 
 art, aided as it was by Mad. de StaeTs "Allemagne", which may be 
 s.iid to have raised Shakspeare to that position of eminence in France, 
 which, however clearly it may have been his due, he had not hitherto 
 occupied. From that moment his triumph has been complete. Some of the 
 greatest names in French literature now began to acknowledge the power 
 of the English .dramatist ; and in 1S21 a new edition was published of 
 the "Oeuvres completes de Shakspeare", by Guizot, Barante, et Amedee 
 Pichot. It was Letourneur's old translation, revised, corrected, and 
 improved. Guizot published, besides, his "Essai sur la vie et les 
 oeuvres de Shakspeare"; and, latterly, "Shakspeare et son temps." 
 Villemain, Remusat, Alfred de Vigny, and (particularly) Philarete 
 Chasles wrote both with enthusiasm and with thorough intelligence on 
 Shakspeare and English dramatic art. The last named also made a 
 superior translation of Borneo and Juliet. 
 
 Nisard published, in 1837, his "Chefs d'oeuvres de Shakspeare"; 
 and in 1842 two new translations of Shakspeare_ appeared ; the one by 
 Benjamin Laroche, the other by Francisque Michel. But it will be at 
 all times a difficult task to translate Shakspeare into any of the 
 Romance languages; more particularly French, for there is a want, 
 in the language derived from the latin, of all those elements which 
 characterise the Teutonic tongues. The voice of nature speaking, in 
 
85 
 
 her sympathy, to man; the changeful emotions of the human heart; the 
 mysteries, now grandly solemn, and now again almost playful, of the 
 poet's mind; the echo, caught ere yet it dies away, of the fleetest and 
 most transient whispers of the soul ; nay, the very innermost movement 
 of thought in the brain ; — in the expression of which Shakspeare is 
 so grand a master; — ■ all these are not easily rendered into French. 
 They require a Teutonic tongue. 
 
 Edgar Quinet gives us some fine passages on Shakspeare, in his 
 "Genie des religions"; and George Sand a poetic study on Hamlet. 
 Saint Marc- Girar din in his "Cours de litterature dramatique", John 
 Lemoinne in his volume of Critiques, Gustave Planche, Mennechet, 
 Saint-Beuve, Jules Janin, Alf. Michiels, de Lamennais, Hippotyte 
 Lucas, and many others whom we could cite, have also written, with 
 no less originality than genius, on the great dramatist. 
 
 That the old prejudice against Shakspeare should every now 
 and then revive and shew itself is natural, and will probably continue 
 to be the case for some time to come. The last effort in this direction 
 was made by M. Ponsard,* in 1856, in his Discourse in the Institute 
 of France, when he was received as a Member. It would have been 
 unnecessary to notice this discourse, (for it is profitless), were it not 
 for the reply which M. Nisard gave it, and which we may take as an 
 expression of the ideas which prevail at the present moment amongst 
 the French, on that subject. Mr. Nisard replied to the attack on the 
 bard of Avon thus : — " Another point on which I should be somewhat 
 " more liberal than you, is relative to Shakspeare. Of all that you have 
 "expressed so brilliantly I would guard what tends to his glory, and 
 "I would put aside the restrictions to his fame, not as unjust, but 
 "because the truth does no longer require them. Time has elevated 
 "Shakspeare above criticism, probably because it has raised him above 
 "eulogium. The very words 'beauties' and 'defects' belong to a rela- 
 " tive language, out of the pale of which special terms must be sought 
 " for, if it is desired to define the charm, or to characterize the imper- 
 "fections of these astonishing works. Shakspeare has had the same 
 " destiny as Homer. After that famous quarrel of the ancients and the 
 "moderns in which admirers and opponents — Boileau as well as Perrault 
 " — committed the mistake of representing the author of the Iliad as 
 " a literary man working regularly at his desk, the Homer who remains 
 "is a Homer transfigured, presiding over the great choir of men of 
 " genius, and naked, in the midst of personages whose costume indicates 
 " their nation and their age, as if the matter related not to the inhabi- 
 " tant of a country npr to the contemporary of an epoch, but to the genius 
 "itself of poetry. Like Homer, Shakspeare appears to us, in his turn, 
 " in a tranquil and mysterious distance, withdrawing from the curiosity 
 "of erudition, which fatigues itself in seeking out a man where there is 
 " only one of the most wondrous sources of creative poetry. With 
 "Homer, with Shakspeare, we are placed on lofty pinnacles, from which 
 "the eye cannot distinguish anything of what passes below. I do not 
 "ask them for any account of the faults which they may have com- 
 
 * "Discours prononcds dans la stance publique tenue par l'Academie franchise 
 pour la reception de M. Ponsard" 1856. 
 
86 
 
 " mitted — Homer in creating a first model of beauty, from which has 
 "emanated the very idea of art and of its rules — and Shakspeare in 
 " not being acquainted with them. Why be astonished that these geniuses 
 "are imperfect? If poetry itself has dictated their verses, it is a human 
 "hand that has written them down." 
 
 Two new editions are now (1864) in course of publication, the one 
 is by Guizot, the other by Francois Victor Hugo. They bear additional 
 testimony that Shakspeare, by the sheer force of his genius has won the 
 complete (if somewhat tardy) appreciation of the French nation. The 
 last French book on "Shakspeare" is by Victor Hugo. It is a sort 
 of poetic effusion on the dramatist; and sufficiently shows that Shak- 
 speare will always be appreciated by a great and artistic mind.
