Description

The Admirable Crichton is a comic stage play written in 1902 by J.

M. Barrie. Barrie took the title from the sobriquet of a fellow Scot, the polymath James Crichton, a 16th-century genius and athlete.

The epigram-loving Ernest is probably a caricature of the title character in Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest.

The plot may derive from Robinson's Eiland, an 1896 German play by Ludwig Fulda.

In this, "a satire upon modern super-cultur in its relation to primal nature", a group of Berlin officials (including a capitalist, a professor and a journalist) are shipwrecked on an island, where a secretary, Arnold, becomes the natural leader of the group.
