To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Truth compels us to confess it was far from being so. The dra- matists of that day had no proper notion of the dignity and high aim of their work. Many of the most talented and popular among them were immoral in the extreme. From them nothing high or great, nothing at least pure or ennobling, could be expected. Even the best of them looked upon the drama in scarcely any other light than as a means of affording passing gratification. There was need of a genius who, by his talents, should not onl...y perfect the drama considered as a work of art, but who should also raise it to its true position, as an instrument of instruction to the people. Shakespeare gloriously performed this great work.
64 CHAPTER II.
THE PART THAT> SHAKESPEARE TOOK IN EXALTING AND PURIFYING THE ENGLISH STAGE.
SHAKESPEARE saw that the great defect of his predecessors had been the want of a deep hidden centre, around which all the visible exterior of the play should move.
On this subject, Dr. Ulrici, in his Dramatic Art of Shakespeare, says: " It has already been frequently observed, and among others by Goethe, that, unlike other poets, Shakespeare did not choose for his several works a particular subject-matter, but that, setting out with a certain idea, he makes this the centre to which he adjusts his materials, and applies for its elucidation the world of history and imagination.
