Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Essays in Theatrical Criticism
The true artist, ' says Lessing, will not even believe that we see and comprehend his per fections, however much noise we may make about them, until he perceives that we also have an eye and an ear for his shortcomings. He will smile to himself at our unreserved admiration, and only the praise of him who also has courage to blame him, will touch him nearly.' Alas! I fear it is hardly so with the artists of our English theatre to-day. But I will do my spiriting as gently as may be; if I am walking to my doom, at least I will strive to walk, like Agag, delicately.
