What reading level is The Continental Drama of To-Day; Outlines for Its Study book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mr. Clayton Hamilton f states that " A play is a story devised to be presented by actors on a stage before an audience." The same critic also de- clares (speaking of Browning's " Pippa Passes " and " The Sunken Bell ") that " These poems are not plays; and the innocent spectator, being told that they are, is made to believe that poetic drama must be necessarily a soporific thing." And yet, " The Sunken Bell " is " a story devised to be pre- sented by actors on a stage before an audience." We mu...st conclude, then, that although it is a play, it is not a good play ; or else that the definition above quoted is not sufficiently inclusive. " The Sunken Bell " is not a good play in the sense that Sardou's " Divorfons " is a good play — a piece bien faite: — it lacks unity, the story is not well developed, it wants swiftness of action, and clarity. Nor is it a good play in the sense that Bernard Shaw's * See p. 6 ff.
tin "The Theory of the Theatre," p. 3.
HAUPTMANN 99 " Man and Superman " — a work which is not a " well-made play " — is good.
