Fact and Fiction about Shakespeare with Some Account of the Playhouses, Players, and Playwrights of His Period (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Fact and Fiction About Shakespeare With Some Account of the Playhouses, Players, and Playwrights of His Period

In this account of the great dramatic poet and player, I fear I must rely for interest more upon the manner in which I have marshalled my gleanings than upon the matter gleaned.
