_MONTHLY REVIEW._—‘Of these two fine plays the first is perhaps the more interesting, the second the more beautiful. The reader will find in it (Nero) the keen pleasure of an imperial game of chess.’

_ST. JAMES’S GAZETTE._—‘Mr. Bridges is a poet who has established the right to be read as a whole by all who take contemporary literature seriously.’

_MANCHESTER GUARDIAN._—’The verse has a likeness to that of the strong and level Massinger, but is full of little deliberate experiments ... It is poetry fresh and exultant, breaking upwards through “scholarship”.’
