DRAMATIC ESSAYS.
EDITED BY
WILLIAM ARCHER AND ROBERT W. LOWE.
Three Volumes, Crown 8vo, Cloth, Price 3/6 each.
Dramatic Criticism, as we now understand it—the systematic appraisement from day to day and week to week of contemporary plays and acting—began in England about the beginning of the present century. Until very near the end of the eighteenth century, "the critics" gave direct utterance to their judgments in the theatre itself, or in the coffee-houses, only occasionally straying into print in letters to the news-sheets, or in lampoons or panegyrics in prose or verse, published in pamphlet form. Modern criticism began with modern journalism; but some of its earliest utterances were of far more than ephemeral value. During the earlier half of the present century several of the leading essayists of the day—men of the first literary eminence—concerned themselves largely with the theatre. Under the title of
"DRAMATIC ESSAYS"
will be issued, in three volumes, such of their theatrical criticisms as seem to be of abiding interest.
THE FIRST SERIES will contain selections from the criticisms of LEIGH HUNT, both those published in 1807 (long out of print), and the admirable articles contributed more than twenty years later to The Tatler, and never republished.
THE SECOND SERIES will contain selections from the criticisms of WILLIAM HAZLITT. Hazlitt's Essays on Kean and his contemporaries have long been inaccessible, save to collectors.
THE THIRD SERIES will contain hitherto uncollected criticisms by JOHN FORSTER, GEORGE HENRY LEWES, and others, with selections from the writings of WILLIAM ROBSON (The Old Playgoer).
The Essays will be concisely but adequately annotated, and each volume will contain an Introduction by William Archer, and an Engraved Portrait Frontispiece.

"Strong, vivid, sober, yet undaunted in its realism, full to the brim of observation of life and character, Esther Waters is not only immeasurably superior to anything the author has ever written before, but it is one of the most remarkable works that has appeared in print this year, and one which does credit not only to the author, but the country in which it has been written."—The World.
"As we live the book through again in memory, we feel more and more confident that Mr. Moore has once for all vindicated his position among the half-dozen living novelists of whom the historian of English literature will have to take account."—Daily Chronicle.
"It may be as well to set down, beyond possibility of misapprehension, my belief that in Esther Waters we have the most artistic, the most complete, and the most inevitable work of fiction that has been written in England for at least two years."—A. T. Q. C. in The Speaker.
"Hardly since the time of Defoe have the habits and manners of the 'masses' been delineated as they are delineated here.... Esther Waters is the best story that he (Mr. Moore) has written, and one on which he may be heartily congratulated."—Globe.
"Matthew Arnold, reviewing one of Tolstoï's novels, remarked that the Russian novelist seemed to write because the thing happened so, and for no other reason. That is precisely the merit of Mr. Moore's book.... It seems inevitable."—Westminster Gazette.

LIFE OF SHERIDAN. By LLOYD SANDERS.
"To say that Mr. Lloyd Sanders, in this little volume, has produced the best existing memoir of Sheridan, is really to award much fainter praise than the work deserves."—Manchester Examiner.

Set of Five Vols., in Case, 17/6; in Half Morocco, in Case, 32/6.
"We seem at last to be shown men and women as they are; and at first it is more than we can endure. ... All Ibsen's characters speak and act as if they were hypnotised, and under their creator's imperious demand to reveal themselves. There never was such a mirror held up to nature before: it is too terrible.... Yet we must return to Ibsen, with his remorseless surgery, his remorseless electric-light, until we, too, have grown strong and learned to face the naked—if necessary, the flayed and bleeding—reality."—SPEAKER (London).

The sequence of the plays in each volume is chronological; the complete set of volumes comprising the dramas thus presents them in chronological order.
"The art of prose translation does not perhaps enjoy a very high literary status in England, but we have no hesitation in numbering the present version of Ibsen, so far as it has gone (Vols. I. and II.), among the very best achievements, in that kind, of our generation."—Academy.
"We have seldom, if ever, met with a translation so absolutely idiomatic."—Glasgow Herald.
