- W19376885 abstract "Nobody gets less chance to read books for pleasure, all the way through, for their own sakes, than a professor of literature. The myth, of course, is quite different. The professor is supposed to sit in his study, placidly reading one Great Book after another, sipping and sampling and passing judgment, like a wine connoisseur with an infinite cellar and infinite time at his disposal. Hardly so, hardly so at all. His reading is really done by way of preparing for a class, criticizing a paper, advising on a thesis, or writing a paper of his own; his time is divided into fiveand ten-minute snippets by conferences, phone calls, meetings. Iťs a rare and special pleasure when he gets to sit down and read a long, important book all the way through, for its own sake, for pleasure as I have just finished reading the Orlando Furioso by Ludovico Ariosto. I read it, in the first place, out of curiosity of all motives the most proper for picking up a volume, not to speak of four. I read it in the original tongue, which I understand only imperfectly, and I read it without recourse to a dictionary, finding that sometimes the general sense of a passage sufficed for my purposes, and that when it did not I could generally decipher a difficult stanza by reading it over and over. I read the poem from beginning to end, beguiled as I fancy Ariosto's original readers must have been by a simpleminded itch to learn what happened next, what concatenation of events would resolve the various problems confronting the poeťs characters. I had no loftier purposes in mind, none more" @default.
