Saved Shakespeare's
Plays for Posterity
BY BRUCE CATION
10 completely is Shakespeare ac-

So completely is Shakespeare ac-
cepted as the greatest figure in all
English literature that 1t is al
most impossible to realize the
preservation of his complete works
is largely the result of chance.
If q London publisher some
three centuries ago had not taken
the financial risk of issuing a
standard edition of Shakespeare's
collected plays, 1t is very probable
that many Of them either would
have been lost forever or would
have come down to US in sadly
imperfect form.
This publisher was William Jag
gard, and his story is told in "A
Printer of Shakespeare" by Ed
win Elliott Willoughby.
1t was in 1921 that associates of
Shakespeare conceived the idea Of
having published a standard edi-
ton of his plays. Jaggard agreed
to undertak- the job-an extraor-
dinarily difficult one, since most of
the plays had been published sep
arately, and the copyrights were
held by many different printers.
Some of the plays had been
printed, not from manuscript, but
from the dictation of actors who
carried the parts in memory-re-
sulting, obviously, in manifold i'm
projections and distortions.
The financial risk was great. The
book would have to sell at a price
which would be similar to $50 in
modern currency. The mere cost
OF assembling all the copyrights
and setting the type was heavy.
JaggarG, furthermore, had recently
gone blind.
The job was done, however. and
Shakespeare was preserved fol
US; and In the story of the pub
Usher who did the job there !,
much that is interesting.

Selected Poem

EARTH EASE
(Fred Lape in The Christian Science Monitor)
Now again the casual earth
Takes me to her heart
Growing field and swinging cloud
Ease the fevered smart.
Here with neither love nor hate
Wind runs over grass.
Stolidly face the sun
Where the wind waves pass
Nothing under sun stars
viii wound and rack me here:
No stir, radiance of light,
No fervor, and no fear.
