Three plays "that illustrate Eric Bentley's talent for writing about honor, nobility, and love without mocking these dramatic virtues." The first two plays had been previously published but were out of print at the time; the third was newly published in this volume.. "Each play is prefaced by an explanatory essay, and Mr. Bentley, a leading critic of modern theatre, has written a Foreword and Afterword especially for this volume that challenge the current nihilistic trends in contemporary drama." .
