The narrow limits set to the action of the French play resulted in an arbitrary, sometimes cruel - but also, at least with masterpieces-a benefi cent and almost miraculous simplification. For suc cess the master needed far greater expertness. The conventions being obtrusive had to be subtler for to] cration. The dram...
