St. John Hankin wrote reviews, essays, prose and verse parodies, short stories, a manuscript of a novel, and three one-act plays. Because his plays stress incisive, commonsensical protagonists, the emphasis in Hankin's drama and in the book's analyses is on characterizations and themes. This book includes a detailed primary and secondary bibliography on Hankin, a lengthy listing of productions of Hankin's plays, and an index.
