Kittredge George L. English Language. Course A

New York: Press of J. J. Little & Сo, 1889. — 6 c.Of Rolfe's Introductions, such parts as treat of the history of the plays and the sources of the plots are to be carefully studied. The " critical comments " may be cursorily read, but should be used by the student as suggestions only, not as dicta which he is to follow blindly in forming his opinion as to the excellence of the plays. In so far as these comments set the student thinking, they are good for him. If he allows them to take the place of independent judgment, he had better leave them unread. The student is expected to make himself familiar with the subject matter of each play, so as to be able to write from memory a clear and concise summary of the plot.
