Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Soliloquy in German Drama
In the family of dramatic conventions no member has played so important a role, and on the other hand none has had so ignominious an ending, after a most glorious career, as the soliloquy. In its present crushed and lowly estate, it forcibly reminds one of the last years of the great exile at St. Helena. After centuries of the greatest popularity with both playwright and audience, the soliloquy has at last met with the fate of most popular idols and been ruthlessly ousted from its comfortable throne.
