Overview

From the PROEM. If we are not yet come to question his unity, as we do that of 'the blind man of Scio's rocky isle, ' an improvement in critical acuteness. doubtless reserved for a distant posterity, we as little feel the power of identifying the young man who came up from Stratford, was afterwards an indifferent player in a London Theatre, and retired to his native place in middle life, with the author of Macbeth and Lear, as we can give a distinct historic personality to Homer. No letter of his writing, no record of his conversation, no character of him drawn with any fullness by a contemporary, has been produced. If there was a Shakespeare of earth, as I suspect, there was also one of heaven; and it is of him that we desire to know something. --Hallam
