Excerpt from Tennyson Guinevere: With Introduction and Notes This edition of Guinevere is uniform with that of The Coming of Arthur and The Passing of Arthur, by Mr. F.J. Rowe of the Presidency College, Calcutta, and with my own editions of Gareth and Lynette, The Marriage of Geraint, Geraint and Enid, and The Holy Grail For a general account of Tennyson's poetry, and especially of the Idylls of the King, I may be permitted to refer to Mr. Rowes Introductions. It is difficult for any except practical teachers to realise how much help is needed by young students in order that they may understand and appreciate what they read in English literature, and often the more apparently simple a passage is, the more it needs a note, in order that its full meaning may not be missed. This must be my apology for having explained in the notes many things which may be thought to be already sufficiently obvious. I have found myself, and my own experience has been confirmed by others, that there is hardly anything which school-boys of fair intelligence are not capable of misunderstanding, and I have gradually, and rather unwillingly, become convinced, that it is better to make the notes too many than too few.
