Excerpt from the book: ‘Mr. Archer has a fling about ‘Robinson Crusoe’, as a classic tale of struggle against obstacles, in which no one could see a drama; but this is probably a bluff. He sees plainly why there is no drama to be got out of it; the obstacles of Crusoe, shipwrecked alone, cannot be presented through people personating them, and without this personation you can’t have a play, though you can have a classic tale’.
