Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Portrayal of the Moral Life Ir conduct be three-fourths of life, or in other words if all deliberate action have a moral bearing, Shakespeare's description of the moral world is but a name for his collected works. Accordingly, since nothing that is broadly human was foreign to his mind, or failed of at least a passing notice at his hands, the title of the following study would seem to be as comprehensive as that of the professorship founded for Professor Teufelsdrockh at the Uni versity of Weiss-nicht-wo. The aim of this under taking, however, is a modest one. Using as our material the concrete facts of life as they appear in the pages of the great dramas, we shall merely attempt to discover what light they throw. Upon a single group of ethical problems. Manifestly such an inquiry may be confined within definite limits. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
