Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Beaumont Fletcher, Vol. 8 of 11: The Text Formed From a New Collation of the Early Editions; With Notes, and a Biographical Memoir This drama may be attributed, on sure grounds, to Fletcher alone; and the date of its first representation was doubtless 1621: see vol. vii. 415. In an account of "Revels and Playes performed and acted at Christmas in the Court at Whitehall, 1622", we find; "Upon Childermas daye no playe. Upon the Sonday following The Pilgrim was acted by the kings players." Malone´s Shakespeare (by Boswell), iii.146. "The plot," observes Weber, "from internal evidence, seems to be borrowed from some Italian or Spanish novel." According to Langbaine (whose work is dated 1691), The Pilgrim "was reviv´d some years since, and a Prologue spoke, which the Reader may find in Covent-garden Drollery, p.12." Ace. of Engl. Dram. Poets, p.213. The Pilgrim, A Comedy: As it is Acted at the Theatre-Royal, in DruryLane. Written Originally by Mr. Fletcher, and now very much Alter d, with several Additions [by Mr., afterwards Sir John, Vanbrugh]. Likewise A Prologue, Epilogue, Dialogue and Masque, Written by the late Great Poet Mr. Dryden, just before his Death, being the last of his Works, was printed in 1700, soon after it had been acted. See various particulars concerning it in Malones Life of Dryden, p.830 sqq. "This comedy", says Baker, when revived about a dozen 1 years ago, together with the Secular Masque of Dryden, by the managers of Dr. Lane Theatre, tho very well, nay, in some of the Characters, very greatly performed, did not meet with the Applause it might reasonably have expected. The Companion to the Play house, &c. 1764. The Editors of 1778 inform us that "the play, with Vanbrugh´s alterations, hath been performed at Covent-Garden Theatre within a very few years past."
