The Shakespeare Study Programs appeared originally in Poet Lore . They have met with marked favor, and have been reprinted as the back numbers went out of print. The steady demand for these programs prompts the present issue in book-form. Several new programs have been added, and those reprinted have been revised.
The references in this volume are to the First Folio Edition of Shakespeare, edited by Charlotte Porter.
Criticism is the endeavour to find, to know, to love, to recommend not only the best, but all the good that has been known and thought and written in the world. … It shows how to grasp and how to enjoy;… it helps the ear to listen when the horns of England blow.
—GEORGE SAINTSBURY, History of Criticism.
