Modern. Drama in Europe. By M. Storm Jameson. (Collins. 10s.

6d.)—A comprehensive study of European.dramatists since Ibsen. The author is unfair to symbolists like Maeterlinck, Verhaeren, and Yeats, whose work he does not like, and therefore under-estimates its artistic value; also to Mr. Granville Barker, in whom he finds little to admire, while he is curiously partial to. Sir J. M. Barrie. His tribute to that excellent but little-read Austrian playwright Schnitzler is discriminating and appreciative.
