About this book
The Man Shakespeare and His Tragic Life Story is a book by Frank Harris. The contents list chapters headed Shakespeare as Lyric Poet: “Twelfth Night” and Shakespeare's Humour: Falstaff, among others. The book says: let us begin by treating Shakespeare as we would treat any other writer, and ask simply how a dramatic author is most apt to reveal himself.
The book proposes as a first criterion that, in his masterpiece of psychology, the dramatist will reveal most of his own nature. The book says that if a dozen lovers of Shakespeare were asked to name the most profound and most complex character in all his dramas, it is probable that every one without hesitation would answer Hamlet. A passage says Claudio tells the Prince that he loves Hero, and asks his friend's assistance.
