I am grateful to many persons for helpful suggestions and criticisms in connection with this book, especially to Professor Killis Campbell, of the University of Texas, who read a large portion of my manuscript at an early stage in its preparation; to Professor Howard M. Jones, of the University of North Carolina, who examined the manuscript at a time of unusual stress; to my colleague, Professor Laurens J. Mills, who has read all the proofs; and to my wife, who has read and reread both manuscript and proofs. PREFACE. Thou hast made me, and shall Thy work decay At the round earth's imagined corners blow To the Memory of My Beloved . . . . Mr. William Shake- .... speare and What He Hath Left Us. 40 |
