Published in 1897, 'Montaigne and Shakspere' by J. M. Robertson analyzes the influence of Michel de Montaigne's essays on William Shakespeare's works. The book highlights textual parallels and thematic connections, particularly in plays like 'The Tempest' and 'Hamlet.' Robertson argues that Montaigne's philosophical insights significantly shaped Shakespeare's exploration of human nature, existence, and morality, addressing a gap in Shakespearean studies regarding Montaigne's impact.
