Shakespeare's Works, Vol. 1: Titus Andronicus; King Henry Vi, Part I (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Shakespeare's Works, Vol. 1: Titus Andronicus; King Henry Vi, Part I<br/><br/>IT was my purpose to omit 73't Andronicnr from this edition of Shakespeare, and I include it now only in deference to the advice of many friends on both sides of the Atlantic. Most of them agree with me that Shakespeare probably had little to do with writing the play; and one eminent critic - an Englishman, not an Irishman - has suggested that I print the entire text in small type, like the non-shakespearian por tions of Timon and Pericles. It seems to me, however, very like a bull to print a play as nominally Shakespeare's while allowing him no possi ble share in its authorship. I prefer to put it all in the ordinary type, to allow the advocates of its authenticity their full say in its behalf (as I have done in the Introduction), and to leave the student or reader to de cide for himself, if he can, how much of it is Shakespeare's.<br/><br/>About the Publisher<br/><br/>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
