Description:from chapter 1: "This book is an attempt to understand the regard in which Shakespeare and Ben Jonson were held by their contemporaries and successors in the seventeenth century. ... tendency to foist our own critical standards and literary judgments upon the public of Marlowe or Milton or Shakespeare is no doubt perfectly natural, but it is nonetheless a gross and dangerous distortion. ...To understand fully the standing of any dramatist in the seventeenth century we should need, for every year in the century, complete records ... If we test all these allusions by a single standard of validity and distribute them into decades and types, we have a body of material, reliable though incomplete, upon which we can base a sounder estimate of the reputations of Shakespeare and Jonson than any other which has been offered. Such testing, distribution, and analysis of the results is the purpose of the succeeding chapters."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
