Three Fin-de-Siècle Farces

"'Three Fin-de-Siècle Farces' brings to the attention of the English-speaking public a grouping of seminal works from the European comic tradition, each important in its way. 'Miss Bullberg's Marriage' is the most popular play ever written and performed in Belgium, and 'Pan' and 'The Miracle of Saint Anthony', albeit virtually forgotten, mark significant turning points for world dramatic literature and deserve reconsideration." (Jean Decock, University of Nevada)
"The sharp satires of bourgeois values by turn-of-the-century symbolists Maurice Maeterlinck ('The Miracle of Saint Anthony') and Charles Van Lerberghe ('Pan') seem - in Willinger's fine translations - remarkably up-to-date." (Barry Daniels, School of Theatre, Kent State University)
