When the counter tides of prejudice and adulation have ceased to trouble public opinion. it seems likely that *Queen Mary ' will take some such place m lit- erature as is held by the ‘Perkin Warbeck® of Jobn Ford." The Spectator, on the contrary, sums up ita opinion thas : “ QOu the whole, we think wemay say that thia iss play which will compare with something more than advaotage with Bhakspeare's * Henry VIIL' Ot course that is by no means the finest even of the bistorical m;_vs of Shak- speare,—and we only mention it ause it, w00, contains & study of the good and of the evil qual- ities of the Tudor cbaracter,—but then no play of any modern poet's would be likely tn rank With any of tHO groater plays of Shakspears. Certainly we should be surprised to hear thai sny troe critic would rate ‘Queen Mary,' whether in dramatic force or in general power, below * Hoary VIIL.,' and our own im- presston ig, that 1t is & decidedly finer work of dramatic art.” The following is tho most concentrated pas- s 10 the Athenum's criticismn : “ While the verdict upon *Queen Mary® as a drama is that it lacks all eesentially dramatic quality, that it fails to stir or to rouss, it is nove the less & work of serious effort and sustained purpose.” ¥ The Academy is non-committal, and says: #¢Queen Mary’ is full of various interest and insight ; it shows powers unguessed at, sud as yet scarcely to ba appreciated.
