Robertson's Play 'School'" by William Mackay is a critical examination of the play "School," written during the late 19th century. This book combines elements of theater criticism and autobiographical reflection as it discusses the influences and implications surrounding T. W. Robertson’s work, highlighting debates over originality and adaptation in dramatic literature. The likely topic of the book revolves around the theatrical landscape of the time, focusing particularly on the interplay between originality and adaptation in the realm of comedy. In this book, Mackay recounts the controversy sparked by claims that Robertson's play "School" was an adaptation of a German piece rather than an original work. He provides a detailed look at the letters published in "The Times," debating the authenticity of Robertson's authorship. Through his reflections, Mackay shares his journey as a budding writer, leading to the creation of his first published article inspired by these events. He explores the structure and character dynamics within "School," while also praising Robertson's ability to capture contemporary English life through dialogue, despite recognizing the influence of notable authors like Thackeray. Ultimately, Mackay's work becomes both a defense of Robertson's creativity and a personal account of his own entrance into the world of journalism.
