Lilith (play)
Lilith: A Dramatic Poem is an acclaimed four-act fantasy verse drama written in blank verse by American poet and playwright George Sterling from 1904 to 1918, and first published in 1919. The New York Times declared Lilith “the finest thing in poetic drama yet done in America and one of the finest poetic dramas yet written in English.” Author Theodore Dreiser said of Lilith: “It rings richer in thought than any American dramatic poem with which I am familiar.” Poet Clark Ashton Smith wrote: “Lilith is certainly the best dramatic poem in English since the days of Swinburne and Browning.
