Summary: "Shakspeare and His Times" by François Guizot is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work delves into the life and works of William Shakespeare, exploring the context of his era and the evolution of dramatic art, particularly in England. Guizot's analysis not only highlights Shakespeare's genius but also examines the cultural and social dynamics that shaped his writing and popularity. The opening portion of the book begins with an introduction that outlines the evolution of Shakespeare's reputation, contrasting past perceptions with contemporary views that fully acknowledge his genius. François Guizot discusses the nature of dramatic poetry, asserting its roots in popular culture and the emotional connection it fosters among audiences. He emphasizes the importance of societal conditions during the Elizabethan era, following the turmoil of previous political strife, which fostered an appreciation for the arts. Guizot ultimately portrays Shakespeare as a product of his time, examining how his works responded to and influenced society, while also addressing the challenges of translating his rich English expressions into other languages.
