About This Item
Citing the strong influence of Hardy on the play, St. John Ervine called its success "the most singular feature of the London theatrical season of 1918-1919" ("John Drinkwater," The North American Review 210, no. 769, 1919: pp. 824-36). Hardy himself said: "I have always been grateful to Drinkwater for introducing me to American history through his Abraham Lincoln. I imagine there are few Englishmen who can see, or even merely read, that engrossing drama without becoming genuinely interested in the Civil War period." (Cyril Clemens, My Chat with Thomas Hardy, 1944, p. 18-19).
