| A mummer's wife |
Review
still more uncompromising pursuance of the author's naturalistic aims, depicting the dingy, commonplace existence of small shopkeepers in the Potteries.
The wife is seduced by a theatrical manager, and after her divorce, travels with him on tour. Demoralized by the change of life, she goes to the bad and dies.
A depressing subject handled with art that redeems its ugliness.
