New Volumes of the ‘Modern Plays’ Series.
LOVE’S COMEDY (Kjærlighedens Komedie). By Henrik Ibsen. Translated by Professor C. H. Herford. Pott 4to. 3s. 6d. net.
Literature.—'We welcome this admirable rendering. Love’s Comedy is the introduction to all Ibsen’s social plays. Its dialogue is fiery with metaphor, sparkling with wit. Of all his plays this is the most characteristic of Ibsen the idealist.’
Manchester Courier.—'Will be cordially welcomed. The play is fascinating. It has passages of fine idealism, its cynicism is not always untrue, its satire is justified. In itself, and as a clue to its author’s attitude towards modern problems, the play is noteworthy.’
Speaker.—'Love’s Comedy is such a remarkable piece of work, and Professor Herford’s rendering of it such a notable achievement, that, for the credit of English letters, this volume should be ensured a hearty reception.’
THE COMEDY OF PEACE (Das Friedensfest). By Gerhart Hauptmann. Translated by Janet Achurch and C. E. Wheeler. Pott 4to. 3s. 6d. net.
Globe.—'Is sure to have many interested readers.’
