Kronenberger, Louis (1904–80), critic. Born in Cincinnati and educated at the University there, he served as drama critic for
Time (1936–61), for
PM (1940–48), and briefly for
Town and Country. At the same time he taught drama at numerous universities, including Columbia and Harvard, but most importantly at Brandeis, where he remained for many years. For Broadway he adapted
Anouilh's
Mademoiselle Colombe (1954). Kronenberger was also the author of many books, and from 1952 to 1961 edited the
Best Plays series. His writing featured a rapier wit and a unique sense of stylistic balance, which reflected his admiration of the elegances of the 18th century. Autobiography:
No Whippings, No Gold Watches, 1970.
