The article focuses on the translation of Emile Verhaeran' play "The Cloister," by Osman Edwards. He has succeeded in reflecting not only its keenness of spiritual and intellectual analysis and remarkable-in view of the comparative lack of external action-dramatic interest, but, in a considerable measure, its poetic beauty and imagination. It is a very great drama, logical, realistic, imaginative, eloquent, enthralling. It is full of action and moving crises, but these are denoted, for the most part, not in movement or Incident, but in the spoken words revealing the character and motives of the contending personages, as each plays his part in creating the conditions which lead to the final catastrophe.
