Excerpt from Gareth and Lynette: With Introduction and Notes
This edition of Gareth and Lynette is intended to be uniform with that of The Coming of Arthur and The Passing of Arthur by Mr. F. J. Rowe of the Presidency College, Calcutta, and I have not thought it necessary to include in it either a general account of Tennyson's poetry or a dissertation on the Idylls of the King, except so far as seemed necessary for the due understanding and appreciation of this particular idyll. For the rest I may be permitted to refer to Mr. Rowe's Introductions, to which I must also acknowledge obligation for several suggestive remarks. In preparing the Notes I have' occasionally found Brightwell's Concordance to Tennyson of service, and for etymologies I have constantly given references to Dr. Skeat's Concise Etyrnological Dictionary of the English Language, a book which might with advantage be put into the hands of every student of English. In references to the Morte Darthur I have used Strachey's (globe) edition, 1891, not thinking it necessary to puzzle young students by giving the quotations in the original spelling. Other obligations are acknowledged where they occur.
