To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By confining the dramatist, they say, to just so much time as his production itself will fill up, we have presented to us a living picture of 00 many incidents, all of which may be true, because they naturally proceed from one action, are confined to one place, and occupy the very time that elapses while we are gazing on them. But if this position is good for anything, it is a posi- tion which ought to prevail throughout; and those who insist on the unities, should likewise be as clamorous for ...a strictness of language, and for a real unity of place and time. To what would this bring us ? Strictness of language would banish forever the lofty flights of poetry with which the dramatist heretofore has loved to over- come his audience, and excite their special wonder : a real unity of place would exclude from these northern shores the classic tales of Greece and Borne — the gallant chivalry of sunny Spain, and the love-awakened strains of luxurious Italy : and a real unity of time would forever shut against each succeeding age the dramatic annals of the past ; for a strict accordance with verisimilitude would require, not only that the speech of a lord should be such as the Marquis of Londonderry might utter — not only that a play produced in London should have its scene of action laid in London — but also that the date of the story should be coeval with the period in which it i by Google 82 shakspeare's violation of was represented.
