[Footnote 14: We do not forget nor undervalue the labors of Schlegel
and Tieck; the dissertation upon "Hamlet" in "Wilhelm Meister;" the
admirable contributions through several years to the "Jahrbuch der
Shakspeare-Gesellschaft;" the articles in the "Shakspear-Museum" and
other German periodicals; the edition of Shakspeare translated by such
men as Bodenstedt, Delius, Gildemeister, Herwegh, Heyse, &c., many of
them distinguished for poetic talent. The attack by Benedix upon the
"Shakspeare mania" has brought out excellent comment from Noiré and
Dr. Wagner. Wagner's editions of the plays, with notes and commentary,
are good: so is Dr. Jacob Heussi's "Hamlet." The essays of Karl Elze,
of E. Hermann, Kreyssig, V. Friesen, Otto Ludwig, and several other
contributors to the _Jahrbuch_, cannot be neglected by scholars of
Shakspeare: they are sharply distinguished from the dilettante work
of Fulda and others, and from the subjective excess of the writers
named above in the text. The English lover of Shakspeare cannot afford
to indulge an indiscriminate dislike of the German revival. The
Shakspeare-Lexicon of Dr. Schmidt is a magnificent piece of work.]
