In the first place, it was through the profound and dear conception he possessed as to the nature of dramatic art which, even though he may not have originally possessed it, he nevertheless acquired in the course of his poetical career. He himself expresses his own opinion upon it, when he makes Hamlet (iii. 2) say that the object of the drama is ' to hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature ; to show virtue her own feature, acorn her own image, and the very a^c and body of the time his form an...d pressure,^* It is clear from this explanation that Shakspeare sides with the English popular theatre; his wish was to keep to 'nature,' to the reality exhibited in life and history; he rejects those efforts which seek to re- animate the unnatural drama of the ancients — unnatural in a double respect, owing to its plastic ideality and also its foreign character. At the same time, however, — and this distinguishes him from the English popular poets before and beside him — he gives the drama an essentially ethical relation.
