Note 1064 — Chapter IV · LATER GERMAN CRITICISM.
Reading edition
Shakespeare-studien: Stuttgart, 1866. One of M. Scherer’s best short criticisms is devoted to this book (Études, vol. vi., translated by the present writer in Essays on English Literature, by E. Scherer: London, 1891). But the original deserves reading. It is not much against it that the author relied on forgeries to some extent. The religion of “the document” almost necessarily passes into the superstition of the forgery.
