The writings in this collection first appeared in Bentley's
Miscellany, the well-known nineteenth-century journal whose first
editor was Charles Dickens. Their author, William Maginn, was
widely acknowledged as one of the most eccentric and brilliant
periodical writers of his time. This volume, consisting of two
parts, was put together by his friends and well-wishers after his
death in 1842. The first part, The Shakespeare Papers, features
eight essays that display Maginn's brilliantly tangential and often
counter-intuitive approach to Shakespearean characters and includes
his views on Falstaff, Jacques, Romeo, Bottom, Lady Macbeth, Timon
of Athens, Polonius and Iago. The second part, Pictures Grave and
Gay, consists of four short stories peopled with eccentric
characters and brimming with Maginn's odd wit. The spectrum of
writing contained in this volume gives the reader a rich harvest of
literary nuggets that is both historical and timeless.
