Crosses
Between the Hebrew Bible and Shakespeare there exists some interesting and
instructive points of resemblance, especially in respect of their ways of
life and character. No doubt certain inevitable differences also exist
between them, but these do not hide the resemblance; rather they serve to
set it, so to speak, in bolder relief.
The author in this volume treats of this striking resemblance, under
certain phases, between Hebrew Prophecy and Shakespearian Drama.
The following are the chief "Studies" which find a place in the
work:--Hebrew Prophecy and Shakespeare: a Comparison--Eli and Hamlet--Saul
and Macbeth--Jonathan and Horatio--David and Henry V.--Epilogue.
The following short extracts are selected from a large number of reviews
of Mr. Bell's book:--
"One of the most suggestive volumes we have met with for a long
time."--_Birmingham Daily Gazette._
"An interesting book."--_North British Daily Mail._
"A deeply interesting book."--_The Methodist Times._
"A highly interesting and ingenious work."--_British Weekly._
