Polonius: A Collection Of Wise Saws And Modern Instances, written by Edward Fitzgerald, is a book that explores the character of Polonius from William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet. The book is a compilation of quotes and sayings from Polonius, accompanied by Fitzgerald’s commentary and interpretation. The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a specific theme or topic. These themes include wisdom, advice, folly, and politics. Fitzgerald’s commentary on each quote provides insight into the meaning and context of Polonius’ words, as well as their relevance to modern times.Throughout the book, Fitzgerald highlights the character of Polonius as a wise and experienced advisor, but also as a flawed and sometimes foolish character. He explores the contradictions and complexities of Polonius’ character, and how they reflect the human condition.Overall, Polonius: A Collection Of Wise Saws And Modern Instances is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of Shakespeare’s most memorable characters. It offers readers a fresh perspective on Polonius’ words and actions, and encourages reflection on the nature of wisdom, folly, and human nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
