About this book

Parallels between Shakespeare's plays and the emblem books of his age are gathered in this 1870 study by Henry Green. Emblem books paired symbolic pictures with mottoes and verse. The first part surveys emblem literature down to 1616, and the second sets out similarities of thought and expression, with devices reproduced from the original authors.

Green says he began after noticing such echoes in his own reading, then found that Francis Douce had already pointed out Shakespeare quoting emblem mottoes. Portraits of emblem writers, Bocchius among them, form the frontispiece.
