The Admirable Crichton by James Matthew Barrie (English) Paperback Book

Description: The Admirable Crichton by James Matthew Barrie Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Barrie took the title for "The Admirable Crichton" from the sobriquet of a fellow Scot, the polymath James Crichton, a 16th-century genius and athlete. The epigram-loving Ernest is probably a caricature of the title character in Oscar Wildes The Importance of Being Earnest. The plot may derive from Robinsons Eiland, an 1896 German play by Ludwig Fulda. In this, "a satire upon modern super-cultur in its relation to primal nature", a group of Berlin officials (including a capitalist, a professor and a journalist) are shipwrecked on an island, where a secretary, Arnold, becomes the natural leader of the group. The contemporary critic Arthur Bingham Walkley, however, viewed the connection as merely a rumour: "I feel quite indifferent as to its accuracy of fact". Author Biography Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1st Baronet, OM (9 May 1860 - 19 June 1937) was a Scottish novelist and playwright, best remembered today as the creator of Peter Pan.
