Excerpt from The Chief European Dramatists: Twenty One Plays From the Drama of Greece, Rome, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Denmark, and Norway; From 500 B. C. To 1879 A. D.; Selected and Edited With Notes, Biographies, and Bibliographies A collection of masterpieces of the drama extending over a score of centuries serves to make plain something which ought never to be overlooked. The princi ples of dramatic art are unchanging through the ages, the same to-day in Paris or in New York that they were in Athens twenty-four hundred years ago. They are to be deduced from the trage dies of Sophocles as clearly as from the tragedies of Shakespeare, from the comedies of Moliere as obviously as from the comedies of Leasing and Goldoni and Augier; and they are all the result of the fact that a dramatist always composes his plays with the desire and the intent that they shall be performed by actors in a theater and before an audi ence. He takes thought of the performers of his own time and city; and Sophocles and Moliere, while they were creating characters for the appreciation of posterity, were also preparing parts for contemporary performers in whom they had confidence. He adjusts the stories he tells on the stage to the physical conditions of the only playhouse with which be is familiar. And he feels constrained always to choose the kind of story which will arouse and retain the interests of his contemporaries in his own country, giving no thought to the possible likings of any other audience either abroad or in the future. A dramatist is a playwright who is also a poet in the largest meaning of the word; and he is a playwright before he is a poet. As a playwright he has an intuitive percep tion of the undeniable fact that spectators massed in a theater are always likely to be most keenly interested in an action which deals with the deeds of strong-willed men; and therefore he is prone to provide plots caused by the clash of contending desires. As a playwright he is aware that the massed spectators insist on seeing for themselves the culminating moments of the essential struggle, and therefore these necessary epi sodoe are always shown in action and never tamely related. As a playwright he knows that an audience will not be moved unless it understands fully what is happening before its eyes; and therefore he takes infinite pains with the problem of exposition, making clear so much of the past as may be essential for the understanding of the present. As a playwright he is conscious that the playgoers need to have their attention kept alive as the story is unrolled before them; and therefore he articulates his plot adroitly that suspense thickens and that the strem of the contest is steadily intensified. And as a playwright, finally, he never forgets that the audience has eyes as well as cars; and there fore be provides the utmost spectacle possible in his own theater so far as this is in ao cord with the quality of his work.
