Excerpt from The Story of English Kings, According to Shakespeare A little sketch leads up to the story of the second Richard; a glance at his famed ancestor, the Black Prince, in the act of winning his spurs; a look toward the English people of those days as they appeared to the clear vision of Chaucer, of the author of Piers the Plowman, of that rare old chronicler Sir John Froissart. Thereafter each story is a prelude to the one that follows; as, for instance, in telling the tale of Richard II much more than a beginning is made upon that of his successor. At the opening of each story there is a looking back to get the leading string well in hand. The world believes Shakespeare is its greatest dramatist, and, as possessing the profoundest insight, its best teacher of the science of human nature. If teaching by example is history, he is also one of the ablest of historians. These English plays, at least so much of them as are contained in this book, may well be a part of any coarse of general reading. Its perusal by the young, at odd times and at even times, regularly and as a "stop-gap," will hold open the doors into two great empires of thought - English history and Shakespeare.
