Shakespearean Researches
October 5, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses books and authors. There is evidence that the play "Love's Labor's Lost" as first written was one of the earliest of Shakespeare's, dating about 1590; and indications of revision are to be found in the duplication of two passages and in the disproportionate length of the last act. Various speculations have been made as to the separation of the original of 1590 from the revision of 1597. A natural eagerness to protect Shakespeare from himself has led to the assumption that the superior passages belong to the additions and that the inferior and trivial portions go to the original.
