Translated with an introduction on Antoine and Theatre Libre by BARRETT H. CLARK. Preface by BRIEUX, of the French Academy, and a Sonnet by EDMOND ROSTAND.
The Review of Reviews says:
"A lengthy introduction, which is a gem of condensed information."
H. L. Mencken (in the Smart Set) says:
"Here we have, not only skilful playwriting, but also sound literature."
Brander Matthews says:
"The book is welcome to all students of the modern stage. It contains the fullest account of the activities of Antoine's Free Theater to be found anywhere—even in French."
The Chicago Tribune says:
"Mr. Clark's translations, with their accurate and comprehensive prefaces, are necessary to anyone interested in modern drama.... If the American reader will forget Yankee notions of morality ... if the reader will assume the French point of view, this book will prove a rarely valuable experience. Mr. Clark has done this important task excellently."
