Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Shakespeare Personally
This book contains the "Shakespeare Lectures" which always formed part of my fathers course delivered during his tenancy of the Chair of English Literature at Edinburgh University. This period occupied the years from his appointment to the Chair in 1865 until his resignation of it in 1895, and during those thirty years he constantly revised and added to these lectures: they may therefore be regarded as containing the substance of his lifelong study of, and thoughts concerning, Shakespeare.
It was his own wish, expressed shortly before his death, that they might be published. I have therefore revised and arranged them for this purpose.
