A
NOTE
TO THE
READER
These
Notes
present
a
clear
discussion
of
the
action
and
thought
of
the
work
under
consideration
and
a
concise
interpretation
of
its
artistic
merits
and
its
significance.
They
They
are
intended
as
a
supplementary
aid
to
the
serious
student
serve
to
free
the
student
firom
interminable
and
distracting
note-taking
in
class
so
that
he
may
listen
intelligently
to
what
the
instructor
is
saying,
or
to
the
class
discussion,
making
selec-
tive
notes
on
these,
secure
in
the
knowledge
that
he
has
the
basic
understanding.
They
are
also
helpful
in
preparing
for
an
examination, saving not
merely
the
burden
but
the
confusion
of
trying
to
re-read
the
full
text
under
pressure,
and
disentangling
from
a
mass
of—
often
illegible
—
notes
that
which
is
of
cen-
tral
importance.
THE
NOTES
ARE
NOT
A
SUBSTITUTE
FOR
THE
TEXT
ITSELF
OR
FOR
THE
CLASSROOM
DISCUSSION
OF
THE
TEXT,
AND
THE
STUDENT
WHO
SO
ATTEMPTS
TO
USE
THEM
IS
DENYING
HIMSELF
THE
VERY
EDUCATION
THAT
HE
IS
PRESUMABLY
GIVING
HIS
MOST
VITAL
YEARS
TO
ACHIEVE.
The
critical
evaluations
have
been
prepared
by
experts
with
special
knowledge
of
the
individual
texts
who
have
usually
had
some
years'
experience
in
teaching
the
works.
They
are,
however,
not
incontrovertible.
No
literary
judgment
is.
Of
any
great
work
of
literature
there
are
many
interpretations,
and
even
conflicting
views
have
value
for
the
student
(and
the
teacher),
since
the
aim
is
not
for
the
student
to
accept
unquestioningly
any
one
interpretation
but
to
make
his
own.
of millions
of students
over
many
years

shown
that
Notes
such
as
these
are
a
valuable
educational
tool
and,
pro-
perly
used,
can
contribute
materially
to
the
great
end
of
literature
(to
which,
by
the
way,
the
teaching
of
literature
is
itself
only
a
subsidiary)-
that
is,
to
the
heightening
of
perception
and
aware-
ness,
the
extending
of
sympathy,
and
the
attainment
of
maturity
by
living,
in
Socrates'
famous
phrase,
"the
examined
life."
