To address such concerns, an experimental version of

the traditional scholarly methods course was designed to raise students' consciousness about the usefulness of (15)traditional learning forany modern critic or theorist. To minimize the artificial aspects of the conventional course, the usual procedure of assigning a largenumber of small problems drawn from the entire range of historical periods was abandoned, though this procedure has theobvious

give them an authentic experience of literary scholarship (25)and toinspire them to take responsibility for the quality of their own work.
Griffith's work presented anumber of advantagesfor
this particular pedagogical purpose. First, the body of extant scholarship on Griffith was so tiny that it could all (30)be readin a day; thus students spent little time and effort mastering the literature and had a clear field for their own discoveries. Griffith's play The Platonic Wife exists in three versions, enough to provide illustrations of editorial issues but not too many for beginning students to manage. In addi- (35)tion, because Griffith was successful in the eighteenth cen- tury, as hercontinued productivity and favorable reviews demonstrate, her exclusion from the canonand virtual dis- appearance from literary history also helped raise issues concerning the current canon.

The range ofGriffith's work meantthat each student could become the world's leading authority on a particular Griffith text. Forexample, a student studying Griffith's

in Watt's Bibliotheca Britannica. Such experiences, inevitable and common in working on a writer
to whom so littleattention has been paid, serve to vaccinate the student ---I hope for a lifetime—against credulous use of referencesources.
