EDITOR'S NOTE

This, the last volume of THE GERMAN CLASSICS, was intended to be
devoted to the contemporary drama exclusively. But the harvest of the
contemporary German Short Story is so rich that an overflow from Volume
XIX had to be accommodated in Volume XX. It is hoped that this has not
seriously crippled the representative character of the dramatic
selections, although the editors are fully aware of the importance of
such dramatists as Herbert Eulenberg, Wilhelm Schmidtbonn, or Fritz von
Unruh. The principal tendencies, at any rate, of the hopeful and eager
activity which distinguishes the German stage of today are brought out
in this volume with sufficient clearness, especially in combination
with the selections from Schoenherr and Hofmannsthal in Volumes XVI and
XVII.

The European war, unfortunately, has prevented us from making the
selections from contemporary German painting in Volumes XIX and XX as
varied and representative as we had hoped.
