SF Criticism


>
> high fantasy (not in OED; OED SF project has 1973)
>  "Chantecler." The [London] Times, Tuesday, Feb 08, 1910; pg.
>  11; col D "It is a work full of literary delights; of high
>  fantasy; of extraordinary virtuosity in versification ("de
>  l'acrobatisme!" was the comment of one veteran spectator in
>  my hearing); not seldom tending to the "showy" and
>  rhetorical; inspired by a genuine love and knowledge of
>  Nature, even in her most amusing secret places; fresh,
>  ingenious, and "amusing" as a spectacle; bristling with
>  literary satire, some of it rather recondite -- altogether an
>  extraordinary workd that none other than Rostand could have
>  imagined -- but too plainly deficient in the "body," the
>  conflict of wills, the continuous and cumulative interest of
>  action that are essential for an acted play."
>
> "GIRAUDOUX 'CHAILLOT' PRESENTED IN PARIS" By LANSING WARREN

>  [Massachusetts] Sun  1942-09-15 p. 49/1 "Lindsay and Crouse

>
>  "The Play's The Thing" Chaffee Castleton [Van Nuys
