PREFACE

THIS Series is intended specially for School use.

The Introductions are largely devoted to the dramatic and literary sides of the plays-th Story, its Source and Scene; the Title, Date, and Production; the Characters, Composition, and Interpretation.

The Notes, which are comparatively few, are mainly concerned with what is typically Elizabethan in Shakespeare's language. All references are confined to the individual play in each case.

Each volume contains an Examination Paper, which may be a help to the proper study of the play.

Each play is edited by a practical teacher.

There is a Classified Index.
