2006
Overview
Of [Barrie]'s more developed work, the plays, [Taylor] only discusses The Admir-able Crichton - believing \"this satire of Edwardian politics displays the same inability to transcend its milieu as the fiction . . . Crichton rarely looks anything more than a period piece\". Typically, as in [Peter Pan], Barrie uses movement, through time or circumstance, as a catalyst for revelation, asking what the characters have learned. The butler Crichton's masters return from island shipwreck to the vapidity of their previous lives. Yet, it's the enigmatic Crichton we sense who remains their ruling intelligence. Barrie reveals his belief that Darwin's Natural Order works differently from class and its hierarchy. This is no mere period piece.
