Added to the upload Hazlitt's Characters of the Plays of Shakespeare, with the pages rearranged to follow the arrangement of plays in my version of the Johnson-Steevens Shakespeare; Titus Andronicus, by Hazlitt's estimation, was a Doubtful Play. I'll also add an edition of Shakespeare's Sonnets as soon as I am able, just for completion's sake (Eleven is such an ugly number!). The sonnets themselves don't need as much annotation, I think, but either way I don't know of any major and thorough considerations of those poems during Johnson's or Hazlitt's time, which is kind of the whole point of this exercise -- perhaps, in this case, I'll steal from the Malone? I'll definitely not include Venus and Adonis nor The Rape of Lucrece, as they are rough and relatively unnecessary, nor any of the plays not considered by Johnson and Steevens.
