Shakespeare's King Henry the Eighth and the Tempest: Prepared for Indiana Teachers' Reading Circle (Classic Reprint) by Emma Mont McRae (Paperback / softback, 2015)
Excerpt from Shakespeare's King Henry the Eighth and the Tempest: Prepared for Indiana Teachers' Reading Circle In the preparation of this book a definite purpose has been kept in view. The editor has endeavored to give an introduction to the study of the greatest English poet. No attempt has been made to make a contribution to the great body of critical Shakespearian kwledge or to direct a study of the poet on the technical side. It is suggested that a study of Shakespeare's style will well repay the most untiring effort. In fact it is t possible to get the full import of what the dramas reveal without seeing the beauty of the form in which they are expressed. Form and substance are so closely allied that the true artist must reveal truth in beauty. The truth side - the side which by its teaching leads to right living - when it finds a lodgment in the heart, pervades the whole being as the beauty of holiness. Such a dissection of the form as shall endanger the possession of both truth and beauty is certainly to be avoided.
