ABSTRACT
Almost the doyen of modern English criticism, MacCarthy, who died in 1952, was a weekly contributor to the ‘Sunday Times’, and edited the ‘New Quarterly’ from 1907, and ‘Life and Letters’ from 1928. Among his books is an account of ‘The Court Theatre 1904-1907’. An extremely sensitive admirer of Chekhov, his criticisms of Chekhov productions span the entire period to 1945.
