If there is a preface, which I cannot find on google. Perhaps the preface is in the edition that your teacher told you to buy, which, as is clear, is a new edition, and therefore has a scholarly preface by some academic. Last edited by JBI; 04-11-2008 at 12:10 AM. |

Hello, Mesange.
Strange that we don't have it here. This will take you there straightaway: The Ladder - American Preface. You can read the majority of his works at the Ladder, including all of the Prefaces (they have their own seperate section), though I would in general advise looking for the LitNet version first, as the font at the Ladder is kind of ugly, and the text is full of hyperlinks.
