Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Love´s Victory; Or the School for Pride: A Comedy in Five Acts, Founded on the Spanish of Don Augustin Moreto The leading situation of this Play are Moreto´s. They have been adopted by Moliere, Gozzi, and more recently in the German language, by an author of less celebrity than these, but who, nevertheless, has done more justice to the original than either. I have generally followed the arrangement of West, (the German author.) Some of the situations, I think, I have improved; but I was amongst the first to perceive, that in the attempt to introduce additional characters I had not been successful. The want of experience must be my excuse. The language, whatever be its merits, or its sins, is my own. I should prove myself utterly insensible to the kindest and most friendly treatment, if I neglected this opportunity of declaring that the conduct of Mr. Kemble, in every thing connected with this Play, has been extremely opposed to the courses often charged upon managers. The public tribute of admiration which has been so liberally bestowed upon the acting of the Comedy renders it unnecessary that I should do more than repeat, generally, those thanks which I have not been so ungrateful as to forget in private. The words and passages marked with inverted commas were erased by the Licenser. I have only printed them to show with what vigilance the purity of the Stage is now guarded. I am particularly repentant for the heinous crime of alluding to the heathen mythology. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
