Thanks for the comments Traveller & Jano. The book is "Adventures in English Literature" copyrighted 1944. It was my father's in 1947 while a junior in HS. I can't say for sure that the comments are his, and I can't say how I came by the book either. I'll have to ask him on both counts.

I couldn't devote any time to searching for a dry subject the last two weeks, and then this book just popped into my mind yesterday.
