ABSTRACT

A Russian Comedy of Manners, ‘Nation’, 3 June 1911, 359-60.

H.W. Massingham was editor of the ‘Nation’ from 1907 till 1923. He greatly admired Tolstoy and was himself passionately interested in human welfare. One can expect to find in his reviews a tendency to stress ethical rather than artistic criteria. See also Nos 34, 41.
