Shakespeare is above all writers,at least above all modern writers,the poet of nature;the poet that holds up to his readers a faithful mirror of manners and of life.
His characters are not modified by the customs of partivular places,un practised by the rest of the world;by the peculiarities of studies or professions,which can operate but upon small numbers; or by the accidents of transient fashions or temporary opinions:they are the genuine progeny of common humanity,such as the world will always supply,and observation will always find.
His persons act and speak by the influence of those general passions and principles by which all minds are agitated,and the whole system of life is continued in motion.
In the writings of other poets a character is too often an individual; in those of Shakespeare it is commonly a apecies.
Samuel Johnson; preface to Shakespeare's Plays,1755
