TITUS  ANDEONICUS.
The  preponderance  of  criticism  is  altogether  opposed  to  the
admission  of  this  play  among  the  undoubted  works  of  Shaks-
peare.  The  most  probable  statement  connecting  our  author  with
the  play  is  that  made  by  Eavenscroft,  who,  in  the  preface  to  an
alteration  of  the  tragedy,  published  in  1687,  says  that  he  had
been  "  told  by  some  anciently  conversant  with  the  stage,  that  it
was  not  originally  Shakspeare's,  but  brought  by  a  private  author
to  be  acted ;  he  only  gave  some  master  touches  to  one  or  two  of
the  principal  parts  or  characters."

"  Titus  Andronicus,"  observes  Hazlitt,  "  is  certainly  as  unlike
Shakspeare's  usual  style  as  it  is  possible.  It  is  an  accumulation
of  vulgar  physical  horrors,  in  which  the  power  exercised  by  the
poet  bears  no  proportion  to  the  repugnance  excited  by  the  sub-
ject."
