| Summary | "Shakespeare: His Life, Art, And Characters, Volume I." by Henry Norman Hudson is a biographical work written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the life, artistic contributions, and dramatic characters of William Shakespeare, providing an in-depth historical context regarding the evolution of English drama. Hudson explores Shakespeare's heritage, personal life, and his significant influence on literature and theater. The opening of the text introduces the subject matter by emphasizing Shakespeare's renowned status as the preeminent figure in literature. It outlines the scant historical documentation surrounding his life and discusses previous attempts at biographical accounts, highlighting their reliance on traditional materials. Hudson begins to trace Shakespeare’s lineage, detailing the lives of his parents, John and Mary Shakespeare, their socioeconomic status, and significant events in their lives that may have shaped Shakespeare's future, including the connections to the burgeoning world of drama in England. This establishes the groundwork for a fuller exploration of Shakespeare's artistic journey and the cultural backdrop against which his works were created.
