IV. Master Olof by August Strindberg
Translated from the Swedish, with an Introduction, by Edwin
Bjorkman. 1915. xxiii+125 pages. Price $1.50
In Strindberg’s presentation of his hero, Olof becomes the prototype of all
idealistic reformers, uncompromising at moments as Ibsen’s Brand, but more
living than he because more subtly studied in his moods of weakness as well
as in his exultation of strength. Dial.

VI. Modern Icelandic Plays: Eyvind of the Hills,
The Hraun Farm, by Jóhann Sigurjónsson
Translated from the Danish by Henninge Krohn Schanche.
1916. xii+134 pages. Price $1.50
The first play in this volume, “Eyvind of the Hills,” has stirred us as have
few dramas published in recent years. The characters, breaking away from the
circumscribed life of everyday mortals, carry the reader with them to regions
of clearer air and finer perceptions. The whole play is filled with what is strong,
elemental, and clear-visioned, with that heroic quality which world-drama
sorely needs. Theatre Arts Magazine.
