Autor

Francis Asbury Smith, a profound scholar and dedicated litterateur, positioned himself amidst the intellectual elite of his era through his critical examination of Shakespearean literature. His seminal work, 'The Critics Versus Shakspere'-a text which purposefully employs an archaic spelling of Shakespeare's name-reflects Smith's commitment to a rigorous and scholarly approach to Elizabethan drama. In this book, Smith embarks on a meticulous deconstruction of the bard's texts, juxtaposing the interpretations of various critics against the richness of Shakespeare's original prose. While limited information is available regarding Smith's biographical details, his literary contributions suggest a deep engagement with historical criticism and a passion for dissecting the intricate layers of one of the greatest playwrights in the English language. Smith's analytical style is characterized by comprehensive evaluations of thematic elements, linguistic nuances, and the broader cultural implications of Shakespearean works. Although not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, Smith's influence is noticeable in academic circles that value the intersection of Shakespearean scholarship and critical literary analysis. His book remains a testament to his scholarly dedication and serves as a valuable resource for those seeking an in-depth understanding of Shakespearean critique.
