To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The early comedies give us nothing but the temporary laugh ; and even this is pro- duced chiefly by fantastic situations or plays on words clever but far-fetched, puns and conceits so overworked that their very cleverness jars at times. On the other hand, in the great humorous characters of his middle period, like Falstaff and Beatrice, the poet is opening up to us new vistas of quiet, lasting amusement and indulgent knowledge of our imperfect but lovable fellow-men.
The same growth of taste is... shown in the dramatist's increasing tendency to tone down all revolting details and avoid flowery, overwrought rhetoric. Nobody knows whether Shakespeare wrote all of Titus Andronicus entire or simply revised it ; but we feel sure that the older Shakespeare would have been unwilling, even as 90 AN INTRODUCTION TO SHAKESPEARE a reviser, to squander so mucli that is beautiful on sucli an orgy of blood and violence. Romeo and Juliet is full of beautiful poetry ; but even here occasional lapses show the undeveloped taste of the young writer.
