The book Shakespeare: Personal Recollections reflects on the life of William Shakespeare in a comprehensive manner, including all the details of Shakespeare's life: birth, school days, apprenticeship, ambition, farm life, sports, the search for peace and fortune, London, guilt and glory, the taverns, theaters, and variegated society, theatrical drudgery, compositions, literary renown and royal patrons, bohemian hours, Westminster Abbey, Queen Elizabeth, War, Ireland, rural England, "Romeo and Juliet", "Julius Cæsar", two tramps, by land and sea, Windsor Park, "Midsummer Night's Dream", "Merchant of Venice", the supernatural and "Hamlet", the death of Queen Elizabeth and the coronation of King James, Shakespeare monologist, Stratford, and Shakespeare's Death.
It would be a flagrant presumption and a specimen of magnificent audacity for any man, but myself, to attempt, to give anything new about the personal and literary character of William Shakspere! I speak of William as I knew him, child, boy and man, from a spiritual standpoint, living with him in soul-lit love for three hundred and forty years!
Those who doubt my dates, facts and veracity are to be pitied, and have little appreciation of romantic poetry, comedy, tragedy and history!
It is well known among my intimate friends, that I sprang from the race of Strulbugs, who live forever, originating on the island of Immortality, on the coast of Japan—more than a million years ago.
I do not give the name of the play, act or scene, in head or foot lines, in my numerous quotations from Shakespeare, designedly leaving the reader to trace and find for himself a liberal education by studying the wisdom of the Divine Bard.
There are many things in this volume that the ordinary mind will not understand, yet I only contract with the present and future generations to give rare and rich food for thought, and cannot undertake to furnish the reader brains with each book!
