shakespeare's Greatness.

It has often been maintained, both
in England and America, that in or
der to render Shakespeare faithfully
one must be of English stock, on the
ground that the poet was himself an
Englishman, and therefore could only
bring forth personages endowed with
English characteristics, which cannot
be successfully grasped by foreigners.
This argument seems both narrow and
disparaging to the genius of Shakes
peare. We foreigners, born outside
of the magic pale of the Anglo Saxon
race, place Shakespeare upon a much
higher pedestal. We claim that be-
fore being English he was human,
and that his creations are not bound
either by local or chronological limits,
but belong to humanity in general.
One might az we'll say that Shakes
peare could only be rightly compre-
