Author Description

Excerpt from The Modern French Drama M. Fillon's Essays on the French Drama seem to require no other introduction to a British public than can be contained in a formal explanatory note. Those who have read M. Filon's books, his studies of prominent English statesmen, his novels, above all, his essays on the modern English stage, originally contributed to the Revue des Deux Mondes, will know how keen and clear is his critical insight and how skilful is the manipulation of his materials in order to produce the impression which he desires.
