A wide-ranging survey of critical responses to Shakespeare's
masterpiece. The Merchant of Venice has always been one of
Shakespeare's most popular plays. However, the critical tradition
reveals sharply divided opinions, reflecting the tremendous
capacity of the play to provoke discussion among its readers and
audiences. This volume collects the work of over seventy
commentators writing between 1775 and 1939 (when the first signs of
Nazi anti-Semitism are noted). They include well-known critics and
scholars, such as Hazlitt, Ruskin, Furnivall, Brandes, Moulton,
Stoll, Spurgeon, Wilson Knight and Middleton Murry, but also
little-known writers who addressed the Jewish issues in the play
with some authority: George Farren, Israel Davis, Sidney Lee,
Charles Salaman, 'El Seyonpi', F. S. Boas, Israel Gollancz, Gerald
Friedlander, and Cecil Roth. In addition, reflecting the play's
great popularity in the theatre, this collection documents four
celebrated interpretations of Shylock (Macklin, Kean, Edwin Booth,
and Henry Irving), and two of Portia (Helen Faucit, Ellen Terry).
