Sobre este artículo
London: Chatto and Windus, 1881. Spine faded. This edition has Kegan Paul on title page, but with Chatto and Windus ads at back, Chatto and Windus on spine. This book was not a hot-seller at first. Remainders were transferred to Chatto and Windus in 1884. Our copy is from that issue. See Prideaux 5. 296pp + 32-page catalogue from Chatto and Windus.. First Edition, Later Issue. Orange Cloth. Minor Edge W/No Jacket. Octavo.
Sinopsis
With the single exception of Falstaff, all Shakespeare's characters are what we call marrying men. Mercutio, as he was own cousin to Benedick and Biron, would have come to the same end in the long run. Even Iago had a wife, and, what is far stranger, he was jealous. People like Jacques and the Fool in LEAR, although we can hardly imagine they would ever marry, kept single out of a cynical humour or for a broken heart, and not, as we do nowadays, from a spirit of incredulity and preference for the single state.
