Shakespeare and Montaigne - Jacob Feis - Bog

Shakespeare and Montaigne is a classic Shakespeare studies text by Jacob Feis. It has always been a daring venture to attempt finding out Shakespeare's individuality, and the range of his philosophical and political ideas, from his poetical productions. We come nearest to his feelings in his 'Sonnets;' but only a few heavy sighs, as it were, from a time of languish in his life can be heard therefrom. All the rest of those lyrical effusions, in spite of the zealous exertions of commentators full of delicate sentiment and of deep thought, remain an unsolved secret.
