Excerpt from The People for Whom Shakespeare Wrote The first two chapters of these studies of the people for whom Shakespeare wrote were printed inAtlantic Monthly, and permission to reproduce them here is kindly given by Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin & Co. The last two are from a MS. written subsequently, to illustrate the relation of English life in the times of Elizabeth to its literature. The last two traverse, therefore, something of the same ground as the first, and the reader may perceive some repetitions.
