N2  - "The Atlantic Book of Modern Plays" by Sterling Andrus Leonard is a collection of one-act plays written in the early 20th century. This anthology presents various modern works, reflecting the emerging trends in contemporary theatre and the shifting dynamics in storytelling during its time. The book focuses on the themes and styles of modern drama, providing insight into the characters and conflicts that define this genre.  At the start of the book, the foreword introduces the evolution of play-writing and the increasing favor of the one-act play among the reading public, especially in educational settings. The editor expresses concern about the quality of modern dramas being introduced in schools and emphasizes the importance of teaching only those works that possess enduring literary merit. The opening portion also lays the groundwork for the anthology with an overview of the plays included, highlighting their thematic richness and the diverse issues they touch upon, setting the stage for the reader's exploration of the dramatic works to follow.
