[From Preface] This volume is designed to furnish the student and the general reader with such information, in convenient form, as is needed for a proper appreciation of Shakespeare and his works. The commonly accepted facts concerning the great dramatist are plainly stated without the lengthy arguments which tend to confuse rather than assist the general reader. A bare mention only of the important editions of Shakespeare's works has been made, but it is believed that enough is given to lead the reader to an understanding of how the plays first got into print, and why some special editions of them are so encumbered with textual notes. Since the plays were written for the stage and not for the library, the actor is an important factor. The reader should have some acquaintance with the talented men and women who devoted their lives to the interpretation and presentation of the plays? The brief sketch of the great actors will be of special interest to both the student and the general reader. The brief account of the best method of procedure in the study of a play is designed to assist the student and the young teacher, and it will in no way hamper the experienced Shakespearean scholar. The outlines will remove the difficulties encountered in following the story where the plot is complicated. They will also serve as synopses of the plays, and can be used to advantage at the performances of the plays at the theater.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Original publisher's maroon cloth binding with gilt lettering on the front cover and spine. 5 1/2" x 7 1/2." 310 pages, complete. Thirty-two black and white plates, complete. Plates come in the form of reprinted photographs. Two additional pages of advertisements in the back for other books, "The Romance of American Petroleum and Gas" and "The Story of Electricity." Pages are pristine and intact. Binding is tight. Covers are very clean and intact. Spine is slightly faded. A Fine copy. Memoir of Frederick Warde (1851-1935), an English Shakespearean actor. Excerpt from the Introduction: "Fifty years? Impossible! Fifty years in the 'world of make-believe,' as I have heard it called. But it is not a world of make-believe, this world of the stage; it is a world of stern realities; a world of work, of struggle, effort, study, gain, loss, failure and of success. A human world of strength and of weakness; a world beautified by imagination, illuminated by fancy and glorified by truth. A world of tender sympathies, generous thoughts and close fellowship. . Such has been my world, and as, in retrospect, I look back over the bygone years, I see the faces that have passed, I hear the voices that are stilled, and live again in scenes of other days, some bright with hope and pleasure, some saddened by pain and disappointment, but all mellowed by the ripening hand of time and stored away in the chambers of fondest memory.".
