These three essays by the antiquary William Thoms (1803–85) were published together in 1865. 'Shakespeare in Germany' discusses how English playwrights and actors influenced German drama. 'The Folk-Lore of Shakespeare' considers fairy lore and character names. In 'Was Shakespeare Ever a Soldier?', Thoms is 'morally certain' that he was.
