Schoonmaker, Edwin Davies. Saxon’s drama of Christianity in the North. $1.50. Hammersmark.

“There are forty persons of the drama, besides fairies, gnomes, a dwarf, and a witch, classified as the ‘Saxon unit,’ the ‘Roman unit,’ the ‘Greek unit,’ and the ‘Supernatural.’ The distinctions between the classes are not sharply made, and unless the reader is thoroly informed or highly alert his mind will become more or less befogged in following the flight of the Saxons away from the Christians and the complicated relations among Oswald, Father Benedict, Sigurd, Selena, and Canzier.”—N. Y. Times.

“It is a long, confused drama in blank verse, where the ambition of the author is more praiseworthy than the result of it.”

“‘The Saxons’ has the advantage of an unhackneyed theme ... but the story is not very clearly told.”
