520    "This critical edition not only revives the work for 
       readers and scholars alike, it also provides historical 
       context for Aikins's often overlooked contributions to 
       theatre in the 1920s and presents research on the 
       different staging techniques in the play's productions. 
       Much of the play's historical significance lies in 
       Aikins's vital role in Canadian theatre, as director of 
       the Home Theatre in British Columbia (1920 22) and 
       artistic director of Toronto's Hart House Theatre (1927 
       29). Wright reveals The God of Gods as a modernist 
       Canadian work with overt influences from European and 
       American modernisms. Aikins's work has been compared to 
       European modernists Gordon Craig, Adolphe Appia, and 
       Jacques Copeau. Importantly, he was also intimately 
       connected with modernist Canadian artists and the Group of
       Seven (who painted the scenery for Hart House Theatre). 
       The God of Gods contributes to current studies of 
       theatrical modernism by exposing the primitivist 
       aesthetics and theosophical beliefs promoted by some of 
       Canada's art circles at the turn of the twentieth century.
       Whereas Aikins is clearly progressive in his political 
       critique of materialism and organized religion, he 
       presents a conservative dramatization of the noble savage 
       as hero. The critical introduction examines how The God of
       Gods engages with Nietzschean and theosophical 
       philosophies in order to dramatize an Aboriginal lover-
       artist figure that critiques religious idols, materialism,
       and violence. Ultimately, The God of Gods offers a look 
       into how English and Canadian theatre audiences responded 
       to primitivism, theatrical modernism, and theosophical 
       tenets during the 1920s."--|cProvided by publisher.
