Note 56 — Chapter VI · THE POETIC OF ARISTOTLE[1]
Reading edition
The most familiar instances are certain plays of Ibsen. Of plays recently on the stage, Bernstein’s Voleur, Mirbeau’s Les affaires sont les affaires, Besier’s Don, Kenyon’s Kindling, show that this type of dramatic movement is not confined to any particular school. Of plays that on the contrary dispense with this and rely mainly on characterization the most familiar to Americans is the dramatization of Rip Van Winkle used by Joseph Jefferson.
