Written by British American critic Richard Moulton (1849 1924),
this influential study of Shakespeare's dramatic technique
introduces Moulton's 'prescience' of scientific criticism, an
approach to literature that would later develop into modern
literary theory. Moulton, who served as professor of English
literature at Chicago, stated that his object was to 'claim for
criticism a position amongst the inductive sciences, and to sketch
in outline a plan for the dramatic side of such a critical
science', arguing that Shakespeare's genius lay in his mastery of
his dramatic art as much as in his deep knowledge of human nature.
Published in 1893, this third edition expands significantly on the
material in the first edition (1885) and the second (1888), as
Moulton includes analysis of three additional Shakespearean plays,
using work that had originally been presented to the New
Shakespeare Society of London. Subsequent editions were produced in
1897 and 1906.
