Excerpt from Five Lectures on Shakespeare
Shakespeare myth has been spoken of; but whoever uses this expression to-day has an entirely different thing in his mind from what was meant by it thirty or forty years ago. When that worthy German Shakespeare scholar, my honored teacher, Nicolas Delius, issued a publication in 185! Under the title The Myth of Shakespeare, the thought of ventilating the problem which shall engage us today was far from his mind. His object was simply to examine the mass of reports and stories which had found their way into the traditional biographies of Shakespeare, with regard to the testimony brought to bear upon them and their inner worth; to separate the true from the false, the established from the doubtful, in order to obtain a reliable, if meager, sketch of Shakespeare's life.
