Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Playhouse Impressions This is a book of reprints. About half the articles are from the Speaker; the rest (except one from Black and White, and a fragment from the Illustrated London News) are from the National Observer and the Star. To the several editors who have courteously sanctioned their republication I tender grateful thanks. As essays in dramatic criticism they do not pretend to be systematic or authoritative. Their sole aim has been to fix and record the fleeting sensations of the moment. Anything like a complete survey of the contemporary English stage would have been altogether beyond my purpose. I have been content to take the luck of the playbill, and so have often fallen upon banyan days. Hence one or two of our foremost dramatists are represented by plays which are certainly not their best. Others, whose names are placarded on the hoardings in the largest type, are not represented at all. Doubtless they have all, the popular and the unpopular, their several stations in the dramatic hierarchy; but it has been no affair of mine to "place" them. That is the function of judicial or dogmatic criticism - of which there are already, I submit, professors enough and to spare. The ideal critic is pictured by the crowd, now as a milestone "standing upon the antique ways," now as a finger-post on the "high priori" road.
