Description: Traditionally, Shakespeare is celebrated for the profusion and diversity of his writing and for the elusiveness of his creative personality. Jonathan Bate notes that contemporaries singled Shakespeare out for ‘the variety of his modes and moods’.1 Samuel Johnson thought the plays displayed ‘good and evil, joy and sorrow, mingled with endless variety of proportion and innumerable modes of combination’.2 Shakespeare is one of W. B. Yeats’s chief exemplars of the ‘emotion of multitude’, which Yeats finds lacking in much of modern drama.3 Shakespeare is often seen as one of those creators who is ‘invisible, refined out of existence’, in the words of Stephen Dedalus.4 Matthew Arnold’s much-quoted formulation is that ‘Others abide our question. Thou art free.’
