Excerpt from The Indian Theatre: A Brief Survey of the Sanskrit Drama
The Indian Theatre forms a companion volume to the author's Short History of Indian Literature (London, 1907). Supplementary matter dealing with Veda and Vedanta will be published separately, and is to complete the whole.
The Short History has been well received by such eminent authorities as Drs. Deussen and Rhys-Davids. Other distinguished reviewers find fault with the lack of historical sequence. "Das Ganze ist nich Geschichte, sondern eine gefallig arrangierte Reihe bunter Bilder", is Prof. Oldenberg's opinion. The author laid himself open to the criticism when he yielded to the publisher's wishes, and abandoned, though unwillingly, a more appropriate title.
