Study and Stage: A Yearbook of Criticism is a collection of essays and reviews by William Archer, a prominent theatre critic and writer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book is divided into two parts: ''Study'' and ''Stage.'' In the first section, Archer offers his thoughts on various literary topics, including Shakespeare, Ibsen, and the role of criticism in society. The second section focuses on his reviews of contemporary plays and performances, both in London and abroad. Archer’s writing is characterized by his keen insight and thoughtful analysis of the theatre. He is particularly known for his championing of the works of Henrik Ibsen, whom he considered to be one of the greatest dramatists of his time. Throughout the book, Archer offers his opinions on the state of the theatre, the role of the critic, and the importance of art in society. Overall, Study and Stage: A Yearbook of Criticism is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of theatre criticism and the development of modern drama.
