    Tolstoy's "Shakespeare and the Drama"

    Does anyone know where I can find it? It's the pamphlet that Orwell analyzes in "Lear, Tolstoy, and the Fool."
    "A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral." -Leo Tolstoy

    It's certainly an interesting article. I'd seen extracts about it before but I'd not fully read it until this morning. For me he doesn't seem able to feel Shakespeare at all, but rather to attack it on literal grounds. It is as if he is attacking the ingredients, but ignoring the pudding, if you take my meaning?
