Edwin Arlington Robinson's comedy "Van Zorn" proved him to be one of the
most accomplished of the younger generation of American dramatists. Of
this play the _Boston Transcript_ said "It is an effective presentation of
modern life in New York City, in which a poet shows his skill of
playwriting ... he brings to the American drama to-day a thing it sadly
lacks, and that is character." In manner and technique Mr. Robinson's new
play "The Porcupine" recalls some of the work of Ibsen. Written adroitly
and with the literary cleverness exhibited in "Van Zorn" it tells a story
of a domestic entanglement in a dramatic fashion well calculated to hold
the reader's attention.
"He writes admirable dialogue, and his characters have strong and
consistent individuality. Moreover, he has freshness of invention, and
knows how to unfold an interesting story in dramatic form."--_Nation._
