"Professor Harry, teacher of Greek in the Cincinnati
University, has written a new metrical translation of
the Antigone of Sophocles. The translation is of fine
dramatic quality."
_Oregonian_, Portland:
"A splendidly executed translation of the celebrated
Greek tragedy."
_Herald_, Boston:
"Scholars will not need to be urged to read this
noteworthy piece of literary work, and we hope that
many others who have no special scholarly interest will
be led to its perusal."

"_European Dramatists_"
By ARCHIBALD HENDERSON
_Author of_ "George Bernard Shaw: His Life and Works."
_In the present work the famous dramatic critic and biographer of Shaw has
considered six representative dramatists outside of the United States, some
living, some dead--Strindberg, Ibsen, Maeterlinck, Wilde, Shaw, Barker, and
Schnitzler._
Velma Swanston Howard says:
"Prof. Henderson's appraisal of Strindberg is certainly
the fairest, kindest and most impersonal that I have
yet seen. The author has that rare combination of
intellectual power and spiritual insight which casts a
clear, strong light upon all subjects under his
treatment."
_Baltimore Evening Sun_:
"Prof. Henderson's criticism is not only notable for
its understanding and good sense, but also for the
extraordinary range and accuracy of its information."
Jeanette L. Gilder, in the _Chicago Tribune_:
"Henderson is a writer who throws new light on old
subjects."
_Chicago Record Herald_:
"His essays in interpretation are welcome. Mr.
Henderson has a catholic spirit and writes without
parochial prejudice--a thing deplorably rare among
American critics of the present day. * * * One finds
that one agrees with Mr. Henderson's main contentions
and is eager to break a lance with him about minor
points, which is only a way of saying that he is
stimulating, that he strikes sparks. He knows his age
thoroughly and lives in it with eager sympathy and
understanding."
_Providence Journal_:
"Henderson has done his work, within its obvious
limitations, in an exceedingly competent manner. He has
the happy faculty of making his biographical treatment
interesting, combining the personal facts and a fairly
clear and entertaining portrait of the individual with
intelligent critical comment on his artistic work."

_At Last You May Understand G. B. S._
Perhaps once in a generation a figure of commanding greatness appears, one
through whose life the history of his time may be read. There is but one
such man today.
