Excerpt from Art of the Drama This book is not a history of the drama. Nor is it a manual for the multitudes who aspire to write plays and sell them. It is a tool for the use of those who wish to deepen their understanding and enhance their enjoyment of plays witnessed in the theater or read in the study. As a textbook, it may prove useful in the study of the history of the drama or of the drama as a literary type, or in such a course as the Introduction to the Study of Drama as given at the University of Chicago. The book is divided into three parts, each of which emphasizes a particular aspect of the drama. Part I is mainly devoted to the historical aspect of the drama, the spirit of the age, the nature of the theater and audience in each of the major periods in dramatic his tory. It also contains a general discussion of the major forms or types of drama - tragedy, comedy, melodrama, and farce - and a more detailed consideration of the types of drama and comedy characteristic of each period. Part II considers the major modes of drama - classicism, romanticism, realism, sentimentalism, symbol ism, and expressionism. Part III concerns the major problems of dramatic technique and the characteristic solutions of those prob lems in the various types and modes and periods of drama. There is no question that it would have been more logical to con sider first the technical, second the aesthetic, and third the historical approach to the study of drama, and students of a logical turn of mind will have no difficulty in using the text in that order. But we have come to feel that it will, in general, be preferable for the student to master the facts in Part I before he ventures upon the more theoretical considerations of Parts II and III.

There is no question that it would have been more logical to consider first the technical, second the æsthetic, and third the historical approach to the study of drama, and students of a logical turn of mind will have no difficulty in using the text in that order. But we have come to feel that it will, in general, be preferable for the student to master the facts in Part I before he ventures upon the more theoretical considerations of Parts II and III. Both teacher and student will observe that this book makes no attempt to treat comprehensively any particular plays or the work of any particular playwrights, although many plays and many playwrights are drawn on for illustrative material. Rather is the book intended for use in connection with the reading and study of any series of plays in which the teacher or student may be interested. Inevitably, the plays, playwrights, and movements of each major period in the drama are discussed in each of the three parts of the book. But the very full index will make it easy for the reader to turn rapidly to our consideration, under various heads, of a particular play, playwright, or period.

Excerpt from A Study of the Drama As we seize the importance of these lines of ap proach, the historical and the practical, we see that a soundknowledge of the drama is not possible unless we seek to attain both a perspective of its develop ment and an insight into its technic. Just as the study of music is most stimulating when it includes an in quiry into the value of each of the several instruments, and also into their gradual combination into the most marvelous instrument of them all, the modern orches tra, so the study of the drama is most likely to be profit able when it leads us to consider the successive modi fications in the shape and size of the theaters wherein plays were acted; the varying circumstances of per formance to which the playwrights had to conform; the conventions of the art, some of them shifting from century to century or from country to country, and some of them immutable in the very nature of the drama. Especially stimulating is it for us to recognize the real unity of history, the continuity of the art of the drama, which enables us so often to explain the past by the present and the present by the past.

Excerpt from The Art of Acting and Public Reading: Dramatic Interpretation In taking up this classification, let me say that I do not hope to have it accepted as infallible or as the only classification possible, but I do hope that it will give the young platform artist a clearer conception of his field so that he will not encroach upon the actor's art in the name of public reading.
