Excerpt from Problems of the Playwright
But this new criticism of a new creation has not as yet attained its classic stage. Sophocles achieved his Aristotle;,but our great contemporary drama still awaits a great dramatic critic. The task of criticism is more difficult to-day than it has ever been before. For one thing, the drama has become, for the first time, cosmopolitan. In interpreting the periods of Sophocles, Calderon, Shakespeare, and Moliere, the critic could confine his attention, in each instance, to a single nationality. But worthy contributions to the con temporary drama have been made by nations so diverse as Scandinavia, Russia, Germany, Austria, France, Belgium, Holland, Hungary, Italy, Spain, England, and America. Aristotle could actually see and study at first hand all the plays that' were existent in his world; but, on the same terms, no modern critic could possibly evaluate the best dramatic productions of the last thirty years.

The author examines the fundamental principles of drama, exploring the shift away from traditional formulas and delving into the possibilities of new techniques.
