Excerpt from Shakespeare Studied in Eight Plays The fourteenth Earl of Derby, in his learned translation of Homer's Iliad, feared that the taste for classical literature was declining in Britain. In his preface to the fifth edition of his translation, however, while gratified at the success of his labours, he retracted this opinion with evident satisfaction. It is indeed remarkable how many learned influential Englishmen during the nineteenth century have proclaimed their admiration for Greek and Roman literature. While Lord Derby and Mr Gladstone dwelt chiefly on Greek writers, Macaulay often alludes to both Greek and Roman literature in his essays and English History. In his beautiful poem, The Lays of Ancient Rome, he enters thoroughly into the spirit of classic times. Some previous British writers had greatly contributed to inspire a taste for classic literature, but usually in a more cold, unsympathetic manner. Bacon, in his "Wisdom of the Ancients," Ben Jonson and Addison, in their tragedies of Sefanus and Cato, alike showed their interest in classic times and personages, as did the French dramatists, Corneille and Racine. But Shakespeare was perhaps the first, at least among British dramatists, to describe Greeks and Romans according to nature. He presents them as living realities before a reading public.
