Sobre o autor
William Archer (1856–1924) was a prominent Scottish critic and playwright, an influential figure in the world of late 19th and early 20th century British theatre. As a critic, Archer is perhaps best known for his advocacy of Henrik Ibsen’s plays, which helped to introduce the works of the Norwegian playwright to English audiences. His translations of Ibsen’s plays were instrumental in establishing Ibsen’s reputation in the English-speaking world. Archer’s critical prowess was matched by his own creative endeavors, particularly evident in his play ‘The Green Goddess’ (1921), which is a distinguished addition to the theatrical melodrama genre and became highly popular in its time, reflecting the tastes of post-World War I society. Although Archer wrote more extensively as a critic than a playwright, ‘The Green Goddess’ stands out as his most significant contribution to drama, imbuing his work with insights into human nature and societal norms of the period. His literary style is marked by a blend of incisive critique, elegant prose, and an unyielding dedication to the potential of drama as a form of intellectual discourse and entertainment alike. For those interested in the development of modern theater and the interplay between criticism and playwriting, Archer’s work remains a subject of enduring scholarly interest.
