Excerpt from An Essay on the Drama Since Aristotle wrote his famous treatise upon dramatic art innumerable works have been published covering every possible phase of its development, and such a necessary part of our lives has the drama become that today the daily press and other periodicals devote a very considerable part of their space to it and its criticism. This has encouraged a number of brilliant authors to essay this field of literature, with the result that certain of them have developed into able playwrights. However, competent critics are quite as rare as great dramatists, and much of the criticism published gives little more than the writer's personal opinion, without a reason, direct or indirect, for his conclusions. Thus much misstatement and false argument pass unchallenged, in which the average reader is partly to blame, for at best he has only vague ideas upon these subjects, and rarely the courage to defend his opinion upon them. Nevertheless, intelligent criticism is quite within the range of the average mind, and literary style is not necessary to establish a truth.

Excerpt from Teaching the Drama and the Essay And so it comes to pass that great books impart a knowledge of human nature - general and par ticular. They teach us to know man and to know men. How one grows in spiritual and intellectual stature as he reads Macaulay's essay on Milton! He discovers that Cavalier and Puritan are not merely two figures in English history but that they are two eternal human types, and that he himself approximates to one or the otherand possesses cor responding advantages and defects. He sees now as never before that loyalty is sometimes unright cous and that righteousness is sometimes disloyal; that the good man finds it hard to be a tolerant man, and that the man who puts not virtue in the first place will be ultimately overcome. And the great blind poet, hitherto an abstraction, becomes real to him, and like himself a child Of Heaven and' a child of sin, like himself the victim of pain and penury and circumstance, like himself tormented by unrealized ideals and the agony Of unrest. And all this and ever so much more, be it remarked in passing, one may secure from the essay without so much as suspecting that Macaulay wrote balanced sentences.

Excerpt from Essays on Chivalry, Romance, and the Drama The general practice of assigning some precise period when youths should be admitted into the society of the manhood of their tribe, and considered as entitled to use the privileges of that more mature class is common to many primitive nations. The custom, also, of marking the transition from the one state to the other, by some peculiar for mality and personal ceremonial, seems so very natural, that it is quite unnecessary to multiply instances, or crowd our pages with the bar barous names of the nations by whom it has been adapted. In the general and abstract definition of Chivalry, whether as comprising a body of men whose military service was on horseback, and who were invested with peculiar honours and privileges, or with reference to the mode and period in which these distinctions and privileges were con ferred, there is nothing either original or exclusively proper to our Gothic ancestors. It was in the singular tenets of Chivalry, - in the exalted, enthusiastic, and almost sanctimonious, ideas connected with its duties, - in the singular balance which its institutions offered against the evils of the rude ages in which it arose, that we are to seek those peculiarities which render it so worthy of our attention.

Excerpt from The Modern Drama an Essay in Interpretation With a few honourable exceptions books about books are apt, at present in America, to be any thing but critical. An account of the modern drama, therefore, that aims at historical orderliness and intellectual coherence need not, perhaps, offer an excuse for its existence. My study is not one of phases or aspects but of the whole subject which I have attempted to grasp and to interpret as a whole. If I have succeeded m any measure, this volume should prove of real usefulness to students, teachers and critics of the drama. I have omitted any discussion of the theatre of Italy and Spain. No criticism can be fruitful which is not based on an intimate acquaintance with the idiom which that literature employs. But this omission represents no absolute loss. Italy and Spain have followed and exemplified the tendencies and methods of the modern theatre. They have neither changed them nor originated others.

Excerpt from The Renascence of the English Drama: Essays, Lectures, and Fragments; Relating to the Modern English Stage, Written and Delivered in the Years 1883-94 I can well understand and sympathise with the feelings of impatience and resentment which these essays and lectures have aroused in many quarters during the last ten years, and I have always known that there was much worldly wisdom in the advice of the many friends who have so constantly urged me to hold my tongue upon the subject of the drama. It is a shrewd instinct in the public mind which prompts it to suspect that in matters of art the same great law prevails which it so constantly finds true in matters of morals - namely, that talking and doing are in inverse proportion to each other. And no one is more firmly convinced than I of the stupendous uselessness and impertinence of all preaching and criticism that does not fall in with the growing tendencies of thought around it.
