Excerpt from The Hebrew Literature of Wisdom in the Light of to-Day: A Synthesis0 you suppose Shakespeare meant all that? Was once asked of a teacher under whose interpretative reading the pages of the Dramatist seemed to glow With new power and suggestion. Pausing for an instant's re¿ection, he replied, My concern is with What Shakespeare means, not with what he meant. Such, in a single discriminating word, is the con cern of the volume here submitted to the reader. Its aim is to unfold, in the literary idiom of to-day, what that strain of scripture utterance known to scholars as Wisdom means, for now and all time, as distinguished from, or rather as added to, what supposably it once meant.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
