Excerpt from An Introduction to Shakespeare
The advances made in Shakespearean scholarship within the last half-dozen years seem to justify the writing of another manual for school and college use. The studies of Wallace in the life-records, of Louns bury in the history of editions, of Pollard and Greg in early quartos, of Lee upon the First Folio, of Al bright and others upon the Elizabethan Theater, as well as valuable monographs on individual plays have all appeared since the last Shakespeare manual was prepared. This little volume aims to present what may be necessary for the majority of classes, as a background upon which may be begun the study and reading of the plays. Critical comment on individual plays has been added, in the hope that it may stimu late interest in other plays than those assigned for study.
