The following volumes are now included in the author's "Collected Plays and Poems," and are not obtainable elsewhere:
Reading edition
At the World's Heart
"This book justifies the more than transatlantic reputation of its author."—The Sheffield (England) Daily Telegraph.
Porzia: A Play
"It matters little that we hesitate between ranking Mr. Rice highest as dramatist or lyrist; what matters is that he has the faculty divine beyond any living poet of America; his inspiration is true, and his poetry is the real thing."—The London Bookman.
Far Quests
"It shows a wide range of thought and sympathy, and real skill in workmanship, while occasionally it rises to heights of simplicity and truth, that suggest such inspiration as should mean lasting fame."—The Daily Telegraph (London).
The Immortal Lure: Four Plays
"It is great art—with great vitality."—James Lane Allen.
"Different from Paola and Francesca, but excelling it—or any of Stephen Phillips's work—in a vivid presentment of a supreme moment in the lives of the characters."—The New York Times.
Many Gods
"These poems are flashingly, glowingly full of the East.... What I am sure of in Mr. Rice is that here we have an American poet whom we may claim as ours."—William Dean Howells, in The North American Review.
Nirvana Days
"Mr. Rice has the technical cunning that makes up almost the entire equipment of many poets nowadays, but human nature is more to him always ... and he has the feeling and imaginative sympathy without which all poetry is but an empty and vain thing."—The London Bookman.
A Night in Avignon: A Play
"It is as vivid as a page from Browning. Mr. Rice has the dramatic pulse."—James Huneker.
Yolanda of Cyprus: A Play
"It has real life and drama, not merely beautiful words, and so differs from the great mass of poetic plays."—Prof. Gilbert Murray.
David: A Play
"It is safe to say that were Mr. Rice an Englishman or a Frenchman, his reputation as his country's most distinguished poetic dramatist would have been assured by a more universal sign of recognition."—The Baltimore News.
Charles Di Tocca: A Play
"It is the most powerful, vital, and truly tragical drama written by an American for some years. There is genuine pathos, mighty yet never repellent passion, great sincerity and penetration, and great elevation and beauty of language."—The Chicago Post.
Song-Surf
"Mr. Rice's work betrays wide sympathies with nature and life, and a welcome originality of sentiment and metrical harmony."—Sydney Lee.
