Falstaff (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Falstaff
Johnson scoffed at his friend Morgann's innovation, and critics since have been disposed to pay him back in his coin. But they would hardly have been so quick to do it to Dryden, though twice explicitly and without qualification he calls Falstaff liar, coward, glutton, and buf'foon.2 And Thomas Fuller, Oldmixon, and all the seventeenth century with them take it for granted that he is nothing else.3 Since then the world had moved on a bit;' yet a critical opinion on the drama propounded amid all the vagaries of the hey day oi Romanticism, by one neither a dramatist nor a student of the drama, is on the face of it quite as questionable as the contrary opinion which till then had stood unimpeached.
