John Brown was een Schotse arts en essayist, vooral bekend om zijn driedelige collectie Horae Subsecivae, die essays en artikelen over kunst, medische geschiedenis en biografie bevatte. Zijn geschriften onthullen een diepe betrokkenheid bij kunst, medische geschiedenis en biografische onderwerpen, waarbij hij vaak de complexe relatie tussen wetenschappelijke vooruitgang en het welzijn van de patiënt onderzocht. Brown had sterke opvattingen over de beperkingen van examens bij het beoordelen van de voortgang van studenten en betwijfelde het idee dat wetenschappelijke vooruitgang altijd in het belang van de patiënt was. Via essays als "Rab and his Friends" en "Pet Marjorie" toonde hij een bedachtzame en humane literaire stem.

But even as the play provokes laughter, it also provokes something disturbing, as Bassanio's courtship is actually financed by the magnificent villain Shylock the moneylender -- the focus of anti-Semitic sentiment, and one of the most controversial yet strangely sympathetic of Shakespeare's characters, whose actions and whose treatment in the play are still debated to this day.This simplified retelling of the Shakespearean comedy also includes activities related to the text.
