This book aims at a critical study of the modernE uropean Theatre. It is not intended as a guide to the popular authors of the day, either in England or abroad ;indeed, many successful playwrights are not even mentioned in its pages. It is dogmatic, because it is written from a definite standpoint, and its judgments depend upon an absolute standard of value. To write of any group of authors, dramatic or otherwise, without such a standard, is to debase the coinage of criticism and to insult the artist. I need not define my criterion here, for I have endeavoured to make it clear in the opening chapters.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an unconventional view of the European Theatre and Theatre Artists from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. The author maintains a critical stance towards the playwrights and play styles, and the book provides a fresh perspective on many of the major authors commonly included in discussions of the period. The book begins with a discussion of modernity in the theatre, then goes on to discuss influences, such as that of Ibsen, innovations like the free theatre movement, before closing with a study of Scandinavian playwrights. Overall, the book provides a thorough analysis of a dynamic period of European theatrical history.
