"Shakespeare and the Emblem Writers" by Henry Green is a scholarly examination of literary connections, specifically an exposition of the similarities in thought and expression between William Shakespeare and early emblem writers, written in the late 19th century. This work seeks to explore the influences of emblem literature on Shakespeare's masterpiece, contextualizing it alongside the broader scope of emblem literature leading up to A.D. 1616. The opening portion of the text presents a detailed preface where Green provides a rationale for his study, indicating that he has observed distinct parallels between the works of Shakespeare and various emblematic writings. He references the contributions of other scholars, like Francis Douce, who have previously noted Shakespeare's engagement with emblem literature. Throughout this section, Green highlights the intricate connections that can be drawn between Shakespeare's writing and the themes evident in emblem literature, suggesting that these influences not only enriched Shakespeare's works but also offer readers deeper insights into the cultural and artistic milieu of his time.
