David Widger "The Works of Robert G. Ingersoll, Vol. 03 (of 12)" by Robert Green Ingersoll is a collection of lectures authored in the late 19th century. This volume explores the lives and contributions of several prominent figures, including Shakespeare, Robert Burns, and Abraham Lincoln, through a lens that connects their works to broader themes of knowledge, art, and humanity. The text advocates for intellectual freedom and an appreciation of literary genius while critiquing the restrictions imposed by societal norms and religious dogma. The opening of the volume delves into Ingersoll's admiration for William Shakespeare, presenting the playwright as an unparalleled genius whose legacy shapes the cultural landscape. He reflects on Shakespeare’s humble origins, emphasizing his lack of formal education and the relatively obscure circumstances of his upbringing in Stratford. Ingersoll highlights Shakespeare's ability to capture the essence of humanity through his works, arguing that the playwright transcended the societal constraints of his time and produced a body of work that resonates with universal truths about love, ambition, and the human condition.
