Synopsis
A clear, engaging look at early 20th‑century theatre and the craft of criticism. This volume collects J. T. Grein’s observations on plays, critics, and the role of the press in shaping how we see the stage.
The book surveys contemporary drama and its reception, arguing for independent, honest criticism and offering pointed essays on the state of theatre reporting. It also includes a sustained note on Bjornson, touching on drama, culture, and the critic’s craft without sensationalism, and it reflects Grein’s broader ideas about the purpose and power of criticism in the performing arts.
- Understand Grein’s view of what makes criticism fair, independent, and useful to readers
- See why he contrasts journalistic plot reports with deeper analysis and interpretation
- Explore discussions on the responsibilities and challenges faced by critics
- Learn how theatre and criticism were connected to broader cultural conversations of the era
Ideal for readers of theatre history, criticism, and the evolution of arts journalism.
