Abstract
In this chapter we will prove some of the basic results of Brill-Noether theory, as described in Chapter V. These results fall into two main categories: those which apply to an arbitrary curve, and those which are true only for a general curve. In this chapter we will be concerned with the former, leaving the latter to the second volume.
