THIRTY SHAKESPEARE EVENINGS. R e G 11 I suppose that Shakespeare would be called a “little Englander” by the read- ers of Mr. Kipling's poems, so far re- moved does the England of Elizabeth seem from the empire of Victoria. And yet the same glad note of triumph and patriotism rings through the historic plays of the great dramatist that we have learned to listen for in the poems of the laureate of Greater England. Among a good many other things Shakespeare was a patriot, and Swinburne has en of the national side of his s, “the heroic vein of patriotism that runs like a thread of living fire through the world wide range of his omnipresent %] He was a man of his age as we time; he shared in the awakened national spirit of his people, and through the drama found adequate means to glve ex- pression to it. spi Shakespeare came to London about tw years before the battle of the armada. Emerging from the that had followed in the wake of the wars of the roses, England under the Tu- dors became a nation strong in govern- ment and in war. Elizabeth especially by her strong magnetic personality and goo< sense had rallied the national spirit. W can but faintly imagine what the victory over Spain meant to the English people | for the next ten years théy were in the very heyday of a vigorous and joyous life. Shakespeare's star rose with the star of his country, and for ten years (13% (?)-9) his genius found full sway In historical plays. The national spirit found expres- sion In ehronicles and histories, in poems addressed to the Queen, “Faerle Queen,” in Bacon's ‘“‘Advance- ment of Learning,” but above all in the drama, and beyond all other dramatists in Shakespeare. The England of Raleigh and Sidney, of Drake and Spenser, of Bacon and .Hooker, of Elizabeth and Shakespeare, was of all ages the one best sulted for the development of a great drama, for, as John Addington Symo pointed out, the drama more than other form of art needs just such an en- | vironment in which to flourish, and espe- | claily the historical drama. The theaters of that time were rude enough when compared with the structures of modern time. On round besida the Thames argest were wooden sheds, thatched with rushes, with a around them and a flagstaff on the roof. What the audience had to do in the w: of imagination may well be seen in the prologue to “Henry V.” And yet, rude as these theaters were, on the stage the old. kings and heroes came back to life and England's battles were fought over again before an interested audience. The striking thing about this andience was its | representative character. The Queen w never there, but she had regular com panies to act before her, and many of the plays received their first applause fr her. All other people went to the ter: rich and magnetic noblemen Pembroke and Southampton were the pa- trons of the theater; the well-to-do mid- dle classes were there and the pit, too ready to applaud every low jest. In a word, the nation was there, and the com- osite character of the audience contrib- uted to the nationalization of the drama. Sonnets and poems appealed to the court; in Spenser’s | | boy, a cocker'd silken wanton, brave our | fields and find no cheek?’ And finally when.he has won the victory, such a « as in the time of Shakespeare had won over Spain, he says: This England never did, nor never shall, Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror. But it first did help §» wound itsel Now these her princé® are Come tre t <ot “hall sh and to herself do rest by “Richard II" the highest And w It En In ck then true. patric note is struck in the dying words of John of Gaunt.

P2 the drama appealed to all classes from the Queen to the dirtlest punster in a tavern. For this audience, bound together only by the national spirit that dominated England during the last years of the six- teenth century, Shakespeare wrote his serles of historical plays from “Henry VI in 159 (7) to ‘‘Henry 159%9. The ma- terial he got from Holinshed or old plays or traditions and legends, and he had as fellow-workers a brilliant group of dram- atsts, The same criticism has been passed on the historical plays that we are acc tomed to hear against S novels— they are not true to history. inter- pretations of English Kings have been changed by modern historians. He act ually says nothing about the Magna Charta in “King John.” But after all has been said one gets a very vivid idea of some of the leading Kings and events in English history; the rude chronicles were vitalized. One may still have a idea of the impression produced v Scott’ novels in the early years of this century when the herces of the middle ages came back to life and ministered to the new romantic spirit. And so one may imagine the effect produced on an Elizabethan au- dience by scenes and passages in the plays of Shakespeare. What FHomer poems were to the Greeks these lay were to the Elizabethans and will be to al! Englishmen. I shal not attempt to give anvthing like a running account of all the historical plays, only to call attention to some of | ke passages and scenes that would have | appealed most to an Elizabethan audi- fact that most of the plays bad to do with the davs of chivalry would arouse the martial spirit of the peflrle of that day, but there were special incidents that must have been npfilnuded to the echo, and from what we know of Shakes- care we must feel that in these passages Re"Was speaking to the galleries. 'Some of the passages that will be referred to must have aroused the audience to a white heat of patriotism, especially when spoken by. a great actor like Burbage. uch a_scene is the conclusion of “King John.” We have represented in the play the old feud between England and France. There is not much to attract one to the weak King, and for a long time ence. The ve! one's s athles are rather agalnst him. Falconbridge. however. stands for the indomitable English spirit—he is the na- tional hero.

Modern historians realize that he did a bad thing for his countr when he waged war of building up his_Ge n_France ernment at but the truth would ot be so patent in the days when Eng had so many for- eign foes. 1 need not refer to special passages or incidents, for the whole play abounds in striking exp ons of patri- otism. In the choruses, in the hostile gibes of Frenchmen, above &ll in the speeches and deeds of the King, one finds sufficient evidence that it must have been an ex ceedingly popular play when acted as i ’prn‘h_a'\l_\' was at the new Globe Theat n 1 Popular as all of these plag were in the time of Elizabeth and “‘spouted” as they were by English b in the days of Charles Lamb, tt still retain thei freshness and vitality for all people who | speak the English tongue.
