THE ELlzAeETHAN TRADITION.

MIR. Gosse Says Il Has Hammered the
Modern Poetic Drama.
The great reason In my humble and con
verted opinion, says Edmund Gosse In the
Atlantic, why poetic drama since the seven
teenth century has inevitably failed In Eng
land, is that 1t has remained faithful to the
Ellzabethan tradition. This has been fol-
lowed by every writer of play in verse. II

On the merits OF the seventeenth century
Drama II is no longer needful to insist. The
silver trumpots OF Mr.. Swinburne's praise
are ever In our ears; he ceases not from
celebrating "the dawn-enkindled qulre" Of
starry playwrights. But, on the other hand

IN their ltrrations, how confused wordy

Elizabethan faith. and II is this that has

stage. II poetry In the future, is to speak
