520 _a"The Praise of Shakespeare: An English Anthology" by C. E. Hughes is a literary anthology compiled in the early 20th century. The work collects various praise writings about William Shakespeare from different authors across multiple periods, illustrating the evolution of Shakespeare’s reputation and significance in English literature. This anthology aims to challenge and refute misconceptions regarding Shakespeare's esteem in his time and in later eras, emphasizing the enduring admiration for his art. At the start of the book, the preface by Sir Sidney Lee sets a scholarly tone, addressing historical misconceptions regarding Shakespeare's recognition and contributions. Lee discusses a previous controversy questioning the evidence of Shakespeare’s authorship and popularity, and he suggests that this anthology will serve as a historical account to demonstrate the pervasive esteem held for him from the 16th century onwards. The opening also highlights excerpts from notable contemporaries like Ben Jonson and Milton, praising Shakespeare’s unmatched creativity and talent, thereby establishing a foundation for understanding Shakespeare’s lasting legacy in literature.
