Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Gerhart Hauptmann, Vol. 6 The three plays in this volume present, in clearly defined fashion, three phases of Hauptmann's dra matic art. In The Maidens of the Mount he te calls an episode of his own past which had faded into the remoteness and unsubstantiality of dreams; in Griselda he essays once more a modern and hu man interpretation of one of the famous fables of the world; in Gabriel Schilling': Flight he grapples with the problem of sex in its acutest and most modern form.

Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Gerhart Hauptmann, Vol. 6: Later Dramas in Prose In Griselda Hauptmann employs once more the method of psychological interpretation which he had used so triumphantly in Henry of Ami. The legend of Patient Grissel has, as it stands, no reality or humanity of motive to the modern mind. The figures are like medieval illuminations with rigid limbs and unearthly eyes. Hanptxnann causes them to melt into life. It is possible to contend, to be sure, that the motim which, in the play, are the springs of the action, are rather modern; that Ulrich's absorbing 1m of Griselda, which makes himjealonsofhisetssatouchoithepatho logical.

Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Gerhart Hauptmann, Vol. 3 The first three plays in this volume belong to the years 1890, 1891 and 1892. They were produced in the early fervour of the naturalistic movement and hence deal, explicitly or implicitly, with the conceptions of modern science. To-day naturalism means probity of observation merely. In 1890 it meant the literary expression of sci entific positivism. Hence it was all but inevitable that The Reconciliation and Colleague Crampton should deal with heredity and alcoholism, and that Lonely Lives should present the struggle between dogmatic Christianity and the evolutionary monism of Ernst Haeckel translated into terms of indi vidual human experience.

Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Gerhart Hauptmann, Vol. 2: Social Dramas No plays of Hauptmann produce more surely the impression of having been dipped from the fullness of life. One does not feel that these men and women - Hanne Schal and Siebenhaar, old Bernd and the Flamms are called into a brief existence as foils or props of the protagonists. They led their lives before the plays began: they continue to live in the imagination long after Henschel and Rose have succumbed. How does Christopher Flamm, that excellent fellow and most breathing picture of the average man, adjust his affairs? He is fine enough to be permanently stirred by the tragedy he has caused, yet coarse enough to fall back into a merely sensuous life of meaningless pleasures. But at his side sits that exquisite moni tor his wife. The stream of their lives must flow on. And one asks how and whither? To apply such almost inevitable questions to Hauptmann's characters is to be struck at once by the exactness and largeness of his vision of men. Few other dramatists impress one with an equal sense of life's fullness and continuity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
