J. M. Barrie (1860 - 1937) is today known almost exclusively for
one work: Peter Pan. Yet he was the most successful British
playwright of the early twentieth century, and his novels were once
thought equal to those of George Meredith and Thomas Hardy.
Although in recent years there has been a revival of interest in
Barrie's writing, many critics still fail to include him in surveys
of fin de siecle literature or drama. Perhaps Barrie's remarkable
variety of output has prevented him from being taken to the centre
of critical discussions in any one area of literary criticism or
history. Is Barrie predominantly a novelist or a playwright? Is he
Victorian, Decadent, Edwardian or Modernist? Gateway to the Modern
is the very first collection of essays on Barrie which attempts to
do justice to the extraordinary range of his literary achievement.
What emerges is a significant writer, fully immersed in the
literary and intellectual culture of his day.
