COPYRIGHT 1927 BY THE PRESS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA INCORPORATED PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TH HE following papers comprise articles, reviews and addresses, variously written or delivered in the course of a long teaching career. None of them is class-room matter; several have already appeared in print; and some of these have been slightly reordered. While nothing in the nature of unity, much less continuity, can be claimed for such a collection, Shakespeare in his age dominates the volume. It is to be hoped that a certain variety in mood may not be found altogether inappropriate to the consideration of a period in which, more than in any other, comedy often trod on dignity's train and ermine. |
