William Archer: Life, Work And Friendships is a biographical book written by C. Archer about the life and work of William Archer, a prominent literary critic, playwright, and translator of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book offers a comprehensive account of Archer's life, from his childhood in Scotland to his rise to fame as a theater critic in London. It delves into his personal relationships, including his close friendship with George Bernard Shaw and his romantic relationships with several women. The book also explores Archer's work as a translator, particularly his translations of Henrik Ibsen's plays, which helped to bring Ibsen's work to a wider audience in the English-speaking world. Archer's own plays, including The Green Goddess and The Thirteenth Chair, are also discussed. Overall, William Archer: Life, Work And Friendships provides a detailed and insightful look into the life and work of an important figure in literary history.
