The selection for the purposes of the Belles-L ettres Series of the play most strictly representative of Swinburne sdramatic work has been determined by the following considerations. The Siueen Mother and Rosamond are out of the question because of their immaturity j Atalanta in Calydon and Erechtheus are put aside because of the fact that their proper classification is with the lyrical rather than with the dramatic group of his poems. There remain the Mary Stuart trilogy and the four later dramas. Since the trilogy is unquestionably Swinburne sdramatic masterwork, it must be represented, and B otbivell being excluded by its great length) the choice must fall upon either Chastelard or Mary Stuart. The former of these plays is essentially a production of the poets unchastened and exuberant youth, and consequently, despite the patent beauty of its poetic diction, must give place to the latter, which exemplifies the full ripeness of Swinburne sdramatic powers and the complete mastery of his poetical material. The fact, moreover, that the author has himself avowed the belief that he has never written anything worthier in its kind than Mary Stuart should confirm the justice of the selection.
