Preface to the 1st Edition and Introduction

  • Summary

  • Last time, Mike covered the Preface to the Revised Edition. This time, Mike covers the Preface to the 1st Edition and then starts the "official" Introduction to the novel! The promised historical context is here (and will be here for the next ~90 pages, however long that takes). I think we're gonna be in the Introduction for awhile, folks! Next time: Introduction Part 2
