Macmillan Master Guides is to help you to appreciate thebook you are studying by providing information about it and by suggestingways of reading and thinking about it which will lead to a fuller under-standing.The section on the writer's life and background has been designedto illustrate those aspects of the writer's life which have influenced thework,and to place it in its personal and literary context.The summariesand critical commentary are of special importance in that each briefsummary of the action is followed by an examination of the significantcritical points.The space which might have been given to repetitive explana-tory notes has been devoted to a detailed analysis of the kind of passagewhich might confront you in an examination.Literary criticism is con-cerned with both the broader aspects of the work being studied and withits detail.The ideas which meet us in reading a great work of literature,andtheir relevance to us today,are an essential part of our study,and ourGuides look at the thought of their subject in some detail.But just asessential is the craft with which the writer has constructed his work ofart,and this may be considered under several technical headings-charac-terisation,language,style and stagecraft,for example.  \nThe authors of these Guides are all teachers and writers of wide ex-perience,and they have chosen to write about books they admire andknow well in the belief that they can communicate their admiration toyou.But you yourself must read and know intimately the book you arestudying.No one can do that for you.You should see this book as a lamp-post.Use it to shed light,not to lean against.If you know your text andknow what it is saying about life,and how it says it,then you will enjoyit,and there is no better way of passing an examination in literature.  \nJAMES GIBSON  \nNOTE.References to the play use the line numbering of the
