"It may be asked why I have written The Admirable Bashville in blank verse. My answer is that I had but a week to write it in. Blank verse is so childishly easy and expeditious (hence, by the way, Shakespear's copious output), that of adopting it I was enabled to do within the week what would have cost me a month in prose."--Preface.
