Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

The three plays in this volume present, in clearly defined fashion, three phases of Hauptmann sdramatic art. In The Maidens of the Mount he recalls an episode of his own past which had faded into the remoteness and unsubstantiality of dreams; in Griielda he essays once more a modern and human interpretation of one of the famous fables of the world; in Gabriel Schilling s Flight he grapples with the problem of sex in its acutest and most modern form. It was in 1884 that Hauptmann lived through the summcrnight sdream which he has interpreted in The Maiden of the Mount. In that year he and his two brothers wooed the three daughters of Herr Thienemann at Hohenhaus, the country seat which is so exactly reproduced in the description of the Bishop s Mount. So many years had passed and so different had the emotional colour of life grown to Hauptmann that he could view the episode of bis youth without pain, without regret, without distortion, and sec in the memory of it merely a symbol of the dreamlike quality of human life. What had once been of a reality so poignant was now but like a tale heard long ago. Out of this mood Hauptmann created a group of people whose actions and passions are surrounded by an atmosphere of impermanence an impermancnce of which they themselves finally become aware. Autumn will be followed by winter on the Bishop s Mount and also in the hearts of men.
