Excerpt from Shakespeare's Wit and Humour In preparing this work, the aim has been to gather into a single volume, of convenient size and inviting print, such of Shakespeare's wit and humour as may with pleasure and satisfaction be read in the form of extracts, each connected in proper order with the story of the play from which it is taken. The matter selected is not dependent upon mere situation, plot or mistakes of identity, to afford enjoyment, but so far as has seemed desirable, the plot of each drama drawn upon has been briefly told, in order to throw light upon the chosen text and make the characters better understood and appreciated. Relatively large space has been devoted to Falstaff, as the crowning achievement of Shakespeare's comic genius.

A WASHINGTON POST NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR • The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune keep hitting beleaguered English professor Jason Fitger right between the eyes in this hilarious and eagerly awaited sequel to the cult classic of anhedonic academe, the Thurber Prize-winning Dear Committee Members. Once more into the breach... Now is the fall of his discontent, as Jason Fitger, newly appointed chair of the English Department of Payne University, takes arms against a sea of troubles, personal and institutional. His ex-wife is sleeping with the dean who must approve whatever modest initiatives he undertakes. The fearsome department secretary Fran clearly runs the show (when not taking in rescue parrots and dogs) and holds plenty of secrets she's not sharing. The lavishly funded Econ Department keeps siphoning off English's meager resources and has taken aim at its remaining office space. And Fitger's attempt to get a mossbacked and antediluvian Shakespeare scholar to retire backfires spectacularly when the press concludes that the Bard is being kicked to the curricular curb. Lord, what fools these mortals be! Julie Schumacher proves the point and makes the most of it in this delicious romp of satire.

Excerpt from Wit, Humor, and Shakespeare: Twelve Essays This subject is best reached from the point of reflecting that, of all the animals, man alone appears to be capable of laughter. If, as so many naturalists now claim, man has ascended by successive evolutions of varieties from a lower animal type, we ought to be able to find some germs of the laughing propensity among our ancestors. The first witness we summon on this question is the anatomist, because the physical expression that accompanies an act of laughter depends upon the connection of the respiratory nerves with the diaphragm below and the orbicular and straight muscles of the mouth above. But these muscles are not perfectly developed in the animals. When dogs are fondly gambolling about you, there is "a slight eversion of the lips," which is a rudimentary hint of man's facial expression in an act of mirth. The dog has been the associate of human moods in all countries, and for thousands of years; yet, although we arc told that "the little dog laughed to see the sport," he has not yet made up his mouth for any thing more emphatic than a simper.

Excerpt from Shakespeare's Comedy of Much Ado About Nothing Bandello's contribution to the Play ends here. The under-plot, - secondary only in name, - the characters, including the inimitable Beatrice and Benedict, the unrivalled Dogberry, Verges, and their subordinates; the sparkling dialogue, with its delicate irony, its wit, its pathos, and its humour, - these are all Shakespeare's own mintage; and they are destined to enchant the world while and wherever the language which he wrote is known.

Excerpt from Shakespeare's Comedy of as You Like It: Edited, With Notes Collier gives it twice (in the introductions to Ali/(k Ado and A. Y. A), but the versions do not agree with each other or with either of the above. The matter is of little importance, and we refer to it only as illustrating one of the minor trials of an editor who cannot refer to original do'cu ments, but has to depend on copies made by others.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
