Excerpt from The Society and the Fad, Vol. 2: Being an Amplification of an Address Delivered Before the Shakespeare Club of New York City, Nov, 1, 1889
What I propose in this paper is an attempt to show. That unlike the Browning Society - the Shakespeare Society is not an institution of this character, not organized to worship Shakespeare, or to study the Shakespearian method and form but that it is an institution productive of real benefit, be cause its purpose is to study the matter (the material) in which Shakespeare deals; because we know that this matter is in him without the organization of any preliminary pars ing societies - simply because, so unapproachably simple and coherent and scientific is his form, that we are able at a glance to ascertain whether he is worth studying or not.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the work and methods of two leading theatre and literary institutions, the Shakespeare Society and the Browning Society, exploring the different approaches to studying celebrated historical figures. While the Browning Society endeavours to delve into the intricate language and personal philosophies behind Browning's poetry, the Shakespeare Society assumes a broader perspective, examining the social and historical fabric of Shakespeare's era as chronicled in his works. The author maintains that Shakespeare's practical approach to theatre, his keen eye for the nuances of language, and his ability to capture the essence of society make his work eternally relevant. The book argues that unlike the Browning Society, whose focus remains largely confined to the intricacies of Browning's artistic expression, the Shakespeare Society is a vehicle for studying the world that shaped his work, thus providing a deeper understanding of human nature. Through this analysis, the book brings a fresh perspective to our appreciation of Shakespeare's work and legacy.
