Dowden's critical study of 1875 approaches Shakespeare from the
human side, showing how Shakespeare the man is visible through his
art. Moving from Shakespeare's early plays to his late period, and
grouping the plays according to key stages in his career, the book
traces the growth of Shakespeare's intellect and character from
youth to full maturity. Dowden does not seek to align Shakespeare
with any particular single character from his plays, but sees
aspects of Shakespeare in many of his dramatic creations,
demonstrating how Shakespeare represents many different sides of
human life. The reader is provided with an insight into the
questions at the forefront of Shakespeare's mind, his most intense
moments of inspiration and his discoveries about human life.
Outlining the differences between the youthful Shakespeare and
Shakespeare as a mature and experienced man, the book enables us to
better understand Shakespeare's character and genius.
