To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It rests, according to its own full convic- tion, upon scientific demonstration. It insists that Shakespeare's work was not, as was one time the com- mon cry, a result due to the agency of a gigantic natural force, acting independently of law, but of one in which truth to natui'e has had added unto it the perfection of highest art. 378 CHAPTER X SHAKESPEARE AS DRAMATIST AKD MORALIST Hardly a generation passes in which some one — frequently some one of considerable ability and reputa- tion — doe...s not come forward to show us the utter insufficiency of Shakespeare ; to inform us that he is obsolete ; to demonstrate in the most incontrovertible way that the interest in his productions is purely facti- tious, begotten of traditional beliefs and prejudices, kept alive not by any real liking, but by a blind unreasoning faith in the duty to admire. Were his works now brought out for the first time, divested consequently of the repute which has gathered about them from the com- mendations of successive generations, we are assured that they would meet with scant success upon the stage, if indeed with any success at all.
