“Prof. Moulton’s point of view is his own, in many ways unlike that of the textbooks in general use. Although the order and emphasis of presentation may be sometimes criticized, there can be no question that the book is throughout suggestive and stimulating.” Mary W. Whitney.

The introduction of Dr. Moulton’s study considers “What is implied in ‘The moral system of Shakespeare.’” Following his preliminary observations he conducts his inquiry along three lines of thought: the first presents particular dramas to illustrate what may be recognized as root ideas in the philosophy of Shakespeare; the second surveys the world of Shakespeare’s creation in its moral complexity; the third considers the forces of life in Shakespeare’s moral world, so far as these express themselves in dramatic forms from personal will at one end of the scale to overruling providence at the other end.
