Excerpt from Princess Russalka
"The playwrights whom I choose to emphasize as most expressive of the modern German theatre - the theatre in which Sudermann and Hauptmann are no longer paramount figures - are such men as Frank Wedekind, Ludwig Thoma, Hugo von Hoffmansthal, Arthur Schnitzler and Hermann Bahr. Very slowly have these names penetrated to English intelligences; yet it is in their work that we may find that which is today drawing the attention of the rest of the world to the German theatre."
It was in this fashion that the late Percival Pollard introduced the readers of his now famous book, "Masks and Minstrels of New Germany," to the author of the stories contained in this volume.
