About this book

Iconoclasts is subtitled A Book of Dramatists, and is by James Huneker. The title page names Ibsen, Strindberg, Becque, Hauptmann, Sudermann, Hervieu, Gorky, Duse and D’Annunzio, Maeterlinck and Bernard Shaw. The contents list gives chapters headed, among others, The Quintessence of Shaw, Maxim Gorky’s Nachtasyl and Princess Mathilde’s Play.

The text says the women of Ibsen usually manage to evade the consequences of the life-lie better than the men. The text says Hilda Wangel is the incarnation of the new order, Rosmersholm of the old. The text says that Max, after all, is the husband of Marianne in the sight of God, let legislators decree what they may. The text says Pelléas wishes to visit his dying friend Marcellus, but Arkël begs him to stay at home, where death approaches.
