This survey of British drama, from the Mystery and Morality plays to the present day, is no mere conventional historical catalogue of famous names but an original and penetrating study of the development of our drama and a vivid, and sometimes caustic, valuation of our most famous dramatists. The book also is not just a collection of separate criticisms of individual plays and playwrights but has an important theme which is worked out by the author with great brilliance and originality.'
