"The Essays of Douglas Jerrold" by Douglas William Jerrold is a collection of essays and sketches written in the early to mid-19th century. This volume highlights Jerrold's reflections on a variety of subjects, including notable figures such as Shakespeare and broader themes like morality and human nature, with a blend of satire and wit. The opening portion of this work sets the stage for a series of essays that explore both historical and literary topics. It begins with an introduction that details the life and background of Douglas Jerrold, emphasizing his connection to literature and the theatrical world. Following this is an essay recounting a humorous and imaginative narrative about William Shakespeare's youthful misadventures, particularly focusing on an incident of deer-stealing that leads to his brief imprisonment. This anecdote reveals Jerrold's ability to weave fiction with historical context, capturing the spirit of the time and the character of Shakespeare, while hinting at the political undertones that permeate many of his essays throughout the collection.
