In essays honoring Professor Emeritus Robert W. Babcock, four distinguished scholars consider differing aspects of Shakespeare criticism and influence. HENRI PEYRE surveys the range of French criticism on Shakespeare noting its particular points of originality~points by which it dissents from the orthodox opinions prevalent in English speaking lands. Henri Peyre is Sterling Professor of French, Chairman of the Department of Romance Languages, and director of Graduate Studies in French at Yale University. Turning to England, the second essay considers the Shakespeare criticism of John Dryden and of his times. SAMUEL HOLT MONK shows that "Dryden's generous praise of Shakespeare and his honest confronting of what seemed the faults of the father of the English stage set the pattern of Shakespeare criticism for subsequent generations." Samuel Holt Monk, of the University of Minnesota, is an outstanding scholar who has had wide experience as an editor and lecturer. He is author of The Sublime: A Study of Critical Theories in Eighteenth Century England. Professor EARL R. WASSERMAN, distinguished scholar, editor, and teacher, and chairman of the department of English at the Johns Hopkins University, writes on "Shakespeare and the English Romantic Movement." He explores the question, whether, among the English Romantics, Shakespeare's plays ever passed beyond idolatry to become, either consciously or unconsciously, the source of archetypes. He points out that a work cannot become truly archetypal until it is sufficiently remote in time and alien in culture. "Contrary to the continuity of English literary tradition that never lost sight of Shakespeare, Shakespeare's name and work were still all but unknown in Germany up to the middle of the eighteenth century. But, as in England during the last third of that century, the interest in and admiration of Shakespeare's work acquired a momentum that culminated in what Professor Babcock has happily labelled as Shakespeare 'idolatry:" This is the subject dealt with by HERMANN J. WEIGAND, Sterling Professor Emeritus of Germanic Literature at Yale. Professor Weigand has also contributed an appendix touching on another phase of Shakespeare study growing out of his Hamlet research for his essay~"Hamlet's Consistent Inconsistency".
