STORY OF THE MOOR OF VENICE. _Tr._ by G. B. G. C. 1795.

 

These stories enjoyed a wide vogue in France and England,

and formed matter for the exploitation of every class of

our Elizabethan dramatists or writers of fiction. They have

a particular interest to students of English literature as

having furnished, whether directly or indirectly, the plots

of 'Measure for Measure', and 'Othello'. That of the latter

is said to have reached Shakespeare through the French

translation, while that of the former is probably to be traced

to Wheatstone's 'Promos and Cassandra' (1578), an adaptation

of Cinthio's story, and to his 'Heptameron' (1582), which

contains a direct English translation. To Giraldi must be also

attributed Beaumont and Fletcher's 'Custom of the Country'.

'The influence of Goethe is not calculable. The effect of

his Faust begins most clearly in Byron's "Manfred"'. He has

influenced English ballad and lyrical poetry, as is seen in

Scott and Coleridge.

 

'The influence of such a man must be vast. Byron and Shelley

owned it and showed it. Carlyle, as stern a critic as ever

played the pedagogue, is unmixed in his admiration for the man

Goethe, who is to him divine. In his own country his "Werther",

despite its frequent morbidness and its longueurs, determined

the feeling of every sentimentalist. Outside that country his

"Wilhelm Meister" has become almost a textbook in æsthetic

philosophy'.
