They are largely polemics in dramatic form; for David- son does not start out with definite conceptions of characters or dramatic situations that are to be fitted into a general scheme but deliberately composes characters and situations in order to convey 121 The Testament of a Man Forbid, p. 29. A JOHN DAVIDSON 37 through them certain ideas. In The Theatocrat the whole play thus resolves itself into message. Characters who hear the Davidsonian gospel are at once convinced; for the doctrine of ...materialism is ''not to be apprehended but to be felt." Thus no serious attempt is made by Davidson in the play to reveal the process of character transformation or to trace rigorously the effects that this trans- formation produces on individual conduct. The most effective parts of the tragedy are those that contain an exposition of materialism and that attempt to appreciate the significance of religion as a cul- tural factor in the world's civilization. Davidson realizes clearly that all culture is based on some form of religion.
