"No other book in English has surveyed the whole field so comprehensively."--The Outlook.

"A capital book, lively, informing, suggestive."--London Times Saturday Review.

"Eye-opening and mind-clarifying is Mr. Huneker's criticism; ... no one having read that opening essay in this volume will lay it down until the final judgment upon Maurice Maeterlinck is reached."--Boston Transcript.
