To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Consistently as this tragic drama of ex- tremes and contrasts has been imitated in the Digitized by Google Future of the Serious Drama 221 English theatre, it has never been reproduced.
The Elizabethans exhausted for all time the possibilities along that particular line. Al- though the Elizabethan drama was in most of its phases grossly material, yet there was in all of it that has lived till modem times the vitalising spark of the spiritual. In the im- itative drama that came after the Elizabe...than, materialism alone flourished, and spirituality vanished entirely. Instead of truth there was formalism. As a necessary sequel to such conditions, there followed a bloodless era of cold classicism, during which literary interest, which had been centred exclusively on the theatre, finding the drama unprogressive and hampering, at length shifted entirely from the play to the novel. The loss of its position as literature marked the rapid decline of the tragic drama, a decline that began in the middle of the eighteenth century and ended in the total collapse of English tragedy in the middle of the nineteenth century.
