Excerpt from Shakespeare and His Day: A Study of the Topical Element in Shakespeare and in the Elizabethan Drama

IN writing the following pages an attempt has been made to extract from the Elizabethan drama something of Elizabethan life: There is no field perhaps that could offer a wealthier fund of Elizabethan remains than the contemporary drama. Grey piles stand here and there to remind one of the past but more eloquent than masonry is the literature of that time, and the Spirit it enshrines is, after all, the finest link with those days.
