Excerpt from Hernani: A DramaThe text of this edition is the same as that of the definitive, Paris, 1880. The unusual length of the introduction will be pardoned, it is hoped, in view of the paucity of general reviews of modern French literature that are available for students in schools and some colleges. It contains the matter which I should require a class of my own to get up for examination in connection with reading this play or any other of Hugo's works. The Historical Note is a necessity, and is introduced before the play to save students from confusion and waste of time.Mr. H. A. Perry and Dr. John E. Matzke, in their editions of Hernani, have so thoroughly annotated it that it has been impossible to avoid the appearance of following them very closely and there are indeed several notes for which I am directly indebted to them. Without their indications, I should in other cases have been obliged to spend a great deal more time in looking up references than has been necessary, It would be unfair to Dr. Matzke, in particular, not to pay tribute to the completeness of his notes, which leave his successor little chance for originality.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
