Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Modern Drama and Opera: A Reading Lists on the Works of D'annunzio, Hauptmann, Ibsen, Jones, Maeterlinck, Phillips, Pinero, Rostand, Shaw, Sudermann and of Debussy, Puccini, Richard Strauss
Two new sections, on Henry Arthur Jones and Pinero permit some comparative study of the literary drama of the first edition and the stage play as represented in the work of these two prominent English playwrights. As the original notes on these sections were destroyed in the New York State Library fire credit for their present form is largely due to three members of the class of 1911 of the New York State Library School Mrs. Philip L. Allen and Mr. Sylvester J. Carter, who collected the material on which the present section on Pinero is based, and Miss Ruth F. Eliot who collected that on Henry Arthur Jones.
