Between about 1910 and 1939, no one in the theater made a move without consulting George Jean Nathan. In the midst of scriveners, hacks and stringers, Nathan was the real thing: an erudite theater critic with more than 20 books to his credit, a fabled association with H.L. Mencken behind him (they co-edited “the Smart Set”) and a range of European-bred tastes that gave him a sophistication that few of his colleagues could rival. He not only promoted the early Eugene O’Neill, but was a close friend of the playwright’s and his staunchest champion. He elucidated G.B. Shaw for the masses and created the appetite that eventually established Sean O’Casey.

...Nathan radically rejiggered the DNA of stage reviewing; he is the pit bull of homegrown theater reviewers, an erudite firebrand whose take-no-prisoners approach to stagecraft and the craft of criticism demolished the genteel reviewing style of 19th century performance-fixated scribes like William Winter and J. Ranken Towse. Now that critical gentility — rejuvenated by economic boosterism — has reasserted itself it’s not surprising that Nathan isn’t receiving credit for his resolute deviltry.

Nathan’s ubiq- uitous sarcasm, no doubt hilarious in once-a-week installments, can become a bit tiresome in this prolonged tour de force, but his columns, showcased for decades, made already good magazines a little racier: Harper’s Weekly, Smart Set, The American Mercury, Saturday Review, and Scribner’s. Nathan began his famous part- nership with H. L. Mencken in 1914, coediting Smart Set. In it he gave first exposure to young O’Neill, to James Joyce (two of the Dubliner stories were printed here for the first time), Maugham, Fitzgerald, and others.
