Excerpt from A History of Theatrical Art in Ancient and Modern Times, Vol. 4 Though the book which is here presented to English readers chiefly deals with Moliere, and includes a sketch of the life of the great dramatist, the author does not Wish it to be considered as a biography properly so called. It is at the same time something more and a good deal less.

Historic completeness has not been attempted in this book; it has not been the author's aim to produce a work of reference in which the names of all actors and of all theatres are to be found. The intention has been to present a picture, mainly from the sociological point of view, of the course of development followed by theatrical art through the ages; and accord ingly only such phenomena have been selected for notice as have in a marked degree furthered - or hampered - that development.
