Anstey, F.
Ibsen, Henrik, 1828-1906 -- Parodies, imitations, etc.
THE MASTER BUILDER. A Play in Three Acts. By HENRIK IBSEN. Translated
from the Norwegian by EDMUND GOSSE and WILLIAM ARCHER. Small 4to, with
Portrait, _5s._ [_Just ready._
A NEW PLAY. By BJÖRNSTJERNE BJÖRNSON. Translated from the Norwegian.
[_In preparation._
THE PRINCESSE MALEINE: A Drama in Five Acts (Translated by Gerard
Harry), and THE INTRUDER: A Drama in One Act. By MAURICE MAETERLINCK.
With an Introduction by HALL CAINE, and a Portrait of the Author. Small
4to, cloth, _5s._
_Athenæum._--"In the creation of the 'atmosphere' of the play M.
Maeterlinck shows his skill. It is here that he communicates to us
the _nouveau frisson_, here that he does what no one else has done.
In 'The Intruder' the art consists of the subtle gradations of
terror, the slow, creeping progress of the nightmare of
apprehension. Nothing quite like it has been done before--not even
by Poe--not even by Villiers."
THE FRUITS OF ENLIGHTENMENT: A Comedy in Four Acts. By Count LYOF
TOLSTOY. Translated from the Russian by E. J. DILLON. With Introduction
by A. W. PINERO. Small 4to, with Portrait, _5s._
_Pall Mall Gazette._--"The whole effect of the play is distinctly
Molièresque; it has something of the large humanity of the master.
Its satire is genial, almost gay."
HEDDA GABLER: A Drama in Four Acts. By HENRIK IBSEN. Translated from the
Norwegian by EDMUND GOSSE. Small 4to, cloth, with Portrait, _5s._
Vaudeville Edition, paper, _1s._ Also a Limited Large Paper Edition,
_21s. net._
_Times._--"The language in which this play is couched is a model of
brevity, decision, and pointedness.... Every line tells, and there
is not an incident that does not bear on the action immediate or
remote. As a corrective to the vapid and foolish writing with which
the stage is deluged 'Hedda Gabler' is perhaps entitled to the
place of honour."
THE DRAMA, ADDRESSES. By HENRY IRVING. Fcap. 8vo. With Portrait by J.
McN. Whistler. _3s. 6d._ Second Edition.

SOME INTERESTING FALLACIES OF THE MODERN STAGE. An Address delivered to

criticisms in Mr. Jæger's book."
