HOME STUDY CIRCLE FOR CALL READERS Another Shakespeare Evening With Chronological Study of the Plays. XXIV. “Read the plays from beginning to end.

Yet he | | hardly begins to act on it, hardly comes to | | uhderstand something of Shakespeare's infinite knowledge of life finite variety of his art, when he falls into a state of perplexity at the inconsistencies and contradictions that confront him. seems at first sight impossible that the poet who delights in the boisterous farce of “The Comedy of Errors” prehend the spiritual struggles of Hamlet or that should come from the same hand as the poetry of “The Tempest.”” If the multitude of questions such as these suggested by even a super- ficial reading of Shakespeare remain un- | indeed wonder at him the “myriad-minded” of the world's poets, but we can form no idea_of his orderly mental and artistic develdpment. Only when we consider each play in its relation to his other works, and remem- ber the time and circumstances in which it was written do we begin to understand | the genius of the great dramatist, who | was from the first interested in the ‘whole of life, yet was constantly passing on to | a deeper comprehension of its issues and to a finer sympathy with its vicissitudes. The chronological study of the plays has inspired scholars to the most careful re- search; yvet so universal and vital is the interest involved in Shakespeare's devel- oping art that even the general reader may find in its study the means to en- lighiten and enrich his knowledge. Lack of reference books, as well as want o requisite scholarsnip, will, it is true, pre- vent him in great part from study of the more or less purely e the dates of the play register of the in writings of the day cumstances of the pr allusions to the plays mitations « answered, we may as Company ; to the time a play; from them or temporary writers. a plays themselves to nhunl al evs quotations porary literature. from or allusions to contem- The internal evidences, hiefly on_the of the plays 3 e are, moreover, as their name implies, so integral a part of Shake- speare’'s work that they appeal at once to open-minded reader.

The best Introduction to Shakespeare would undoubtedly come through the study of the great works of the two central groups ~that is, of those plays which deal most forcefully with actual life. To guide the student who cannot conveniently refer to and In this broad cl and, the books on the subject the plays are here given in chronological order. The list is taken from Professor Dowden's “Shakespeare Primer” (Maemillan), a lit- tle book of great value to any one begin- | ning a careful study of Shakespeare: ““Titus Andronicu: uch Ado _ Abgut 1585-90.

In the first group of plays the scope of his interest is already clearly defined; he is concerned th the pdssion that makes tragedy, | with the chances and weaknesses that are the subject matter of comedy, and with the great pageant of history that best | presented men in At this time, however, Shakespeare's In- terest, broad as it was, centered on su- perficial matters: on the fun of trick and affectation, on the physical tragedy that | revolts the sense, on the large movements of history from which characters has as vet hardly begun to emerge. But in his next group of plays the young dramatist tad passed beyond a perception of the superficial and accidental to a wide and profound knowledge of the real life of real people. Yet, though everything touched his interest, and though everywhere he saw deep into his subject, he paused long- est over the patriotic themes of history and the joyous irresponsible life of youth. Thus it was in the creation of histories and comedies that his art most character- istically expressed itself. In the histories we see reflected not only the great pnf ant of battle and of court that appealed 20 strongly to the Elizabethans, but tha reat men that then lived—and that large- )y because of Bhakespeare still live—in the memory of English-speaking people. The comedies, however, most clearly re- veal the variety and vitality of Shakes- eare’s interests at this time. The fairy genuty of “Midsummer Night's the rough boisterousness o of the Shrew,” the isdom in folly in the later comedies show different phases of delight in the mere living of a life detached from immediate moral issues. To this mood Falstaff gives immortal ex- pression. though his pathetic fall from royal favor may hint, as does the under- tone of tragedy in “The Merchant of Venice,” at a growing sense of the deeper import of men's d Tn the plays of the n-xt group this per- ception of the vital issues of character re's conditioned the range of Shakes) sympathy. With the writing of “Julius the greatest of | and of the in-| should com- | the elaborate and artificlal dia- | | logue of “Love’'s Labor’s Lost™ their_outer activities. | Dream,” the "Tlmln‘ Caesar,” If we may ige .by the testi- mony of his works, akespeare’s inter- | ests once narrowed and inte themselves. Full of action, as pl this time , they are whelly co with a_losing struggle of man with fate. This concentration on the t aspects of life bears fruit in 1h. with which the secrets of cha agic power Ygr’lsp#d and portrayed. The now occupies himself with the \human nature, not In its spontan | sel fon or in its actical effec- i and force, b struggles w stiny that re ery »ul. The questions suggested in these plays are solved in those that fo lowed them. It is at st true t | though still intent on the study of manity, Shakespeare could in his late plays ‘regard men as complete in t own intellectual and spiritual existence |and so creating a world above the possi- | bility—or necessity—of final loss. | There is a perennfal fascination in tracing the change in Shakespeare's plot | structure and characterization from the comparative artificiality of his earli dramas to the freedom, and even ti license, of his latest years. The subject too large to allow of more than sugges tion; but the student interested in it wil find the careful analysis of the plots and a thorough investigation of the means of character portrayal as delightful in them | selves as rich {n suggestion of Shak | speare’s growth. The development of h art naturally accompanies the widen! ana decpening of his sympathy with real | life. The time of interest in crude horror \nr superficial humor was inevitably the | season_of artistic imitation and exper! ment, with a comparatively artificial plot | structure and characters lightly sketched and somewhat conventionally grouped Even the doubt as to Shakespeare's part in the authorship of “Titus Andronicus™ and “Henry VI" forces the critic at once to consider his relation to the drama of time and the means by which he at- ned to an early independence in his art But Shakespeare passed with marvelous speed from his tentative craftsmanship to the complete mastery of dra nique, and from the beginning of the sec ond period of kis work we can best trace growth as an artist by noting the molding of tha form to the thought that inspires it in the subject will do well first to study carefully one of the earliest and ome of the latest of the plays of Shakespegre's independence. ‘“The Merchant of Venice for instance will show his perfected a and the point toward which earlier ex- periments had tended, while “The Tem- pest,” one of his latest plays, will throw Tight on many points in the workmanship of the Intermediate dramas A test of the date of a play more simple and evident than its plot structurs or characterization d in its verse. In habitually used blank verse of the more formal type, with a proportionately large number of rhym- ing couplets; in his last dramas he prac- tically dropped rhyme and used a blank | verse that varied as widely as possib from the norm. Blank verse consists of unrhymed fambic pentameter, or lines rr'\de up of five iambic feet. The accent naturally falls at the end of verse, the sense often ending. pausing somewhat, at this point A characteristic example of his ear- lier verse, adhering closely to this typleal form, is shown in the following extract. The accents are given to show more plainly the nature of the lines: the or A heav’ler task’ could not’ have been’ fmpos’'d Was wrought” 'l ut’ter what’ my o. “Comedy of Errors,” act I, scene {, 1l 32-36. Perhaps the m important way in which Shakespeare later modified > verse was by the running of the meaning from line to line, thus adding inflnitely to the variety of The strength of this tenden: fact tn: the proportion or lines wh ose lheré is no break in sense, is in “Love’s Labor’s Lost™ a little less than one in eighteen; In “Winter's Tale” a lt- tle less than one in two. To realize the effect of this change one must read aloud a number of passages, but the following selection carefully compared with the pre. ceding one will at least suggest this char- acteristic quality of the later verse: By accident most strange, bountiful fortune, Now my dear lady, hath mine enemies Brought to_this shore; and by My prescience find my zenith doth depend upon “most auspicious star, whose influence, If now I court mot but omit, Will_ever after droop. my fortunes “The Tempest,” act I, scene if, 11, 178-184. Another peculiarity in Shakespeare's later plays is his ending the line by an additional unaccented syliable. The double or feminine ending of which the following lines are an example is a common form of thi: This night he meaneth with a corded ladder To climb celestial Sylvia's chamber-window. Bestdes this “‘double ending” an unae- cented monosyllable is often added to the iine, and, before a pause in the middle, one or more unaccented eyllables follow | a perfect foot. The result on the music of the verse of the simplest of thesa changes will be seen by contrasting the effect of the following passage with that of the lines quoted from “The Comedy of Errors”: Oh, it is menstrous, monstrous! Methought the billows spoke, and told me of ft; The winds did sing it to me., and the thunder, That deep and dreadful organpipe, onounced The name of Prosper; it did bass mv trespass, Therefora my son in the ooze is bedded: and rn him deeper than e‘er plummet sounded, And with him there lle mudded. | “*The Tempest,” act IIT, scene fi1, 11. 85-102. | The running on of the sense from line to line and the filling of the lines with one or more additional syllables are among the most evident of .the many changes in Shakespeare's verse, but when once their significance is understood the way is open to a fine comprehension of the varied art through which the master of rhythm at- tunes his verse to his thought. The sub- wmutlon of a foot other than the iambie and the more irregular pauses in the later lines giving their many delicate shadings to the verse are quickly noted when one has become sensitive to the more striking modifications of its form. In so brief a sketch as this only the more important lines of chronological study can be SUZE: d, but the reader of ‘ihnka:pmre will at once think of many another subject for similar investigation | Whercver he begin and however limited his field of research, he will, if he pers vere, gain an understanding of Shake peare's thought that will inyigorate his intellectual life, and an insight into art that will help him both to apprectate what {is best in literature and to attain to a | tuller self-expression.
