I’ve noticed most classics will have a foreword that delves into the themes and significance of the novel.
I’m in two minds of reading them though, as while I feel it helps me pick up on things I most likely wouldn’t have had I went in blind, they usually contains spoilers to the novel and this can sometimes take away from the emotional impact when I get to these sections.
So do you read it first? and why / why not?
