Description
Excerpt from On Some of Shakespeare''s Female Characters: Ophelia, Portia, Desdemona, Juliet, Imogen, Rosalind, Beatrice, Hermione
What I have written has been written in a loving and reverent spirit, with the wish to express in simplest lan guage what I feel deeply about these exquisite creations of Shakespeare''s genius. That fuller justice might well be done to them I do not doubt. Still I have had the great advantage of throwing my own nature into theirs, of becoming moved by their emotions: I have, as it were, thought their thoughts and spoken their words straight from my own living heart and mind. I know that this has been an exceptional privilege; and to those not so fortunate I have striven to communicate something of What I have learned in the exercise of my so potent art.
