' We stem at last to be shown men and women as they are ; and at first 

 it is more than we can endure. . . . All Ibsen* s characters speak and act 

 as if they were hypnotised, and under their creator's imperious demand 

 to reveal themselves. There never -was such a mirror held ttp to nature 

 before; it is too terrible. . . . Yet we must return to Ibsen, with his 

 remorseless surgery, his remorseless electric-light, until we, too, have 

 frown strong and learned to face the naked if necessary, the flayed and 

 bleeding reality' SPEAKER (London).
