Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from British Drama, Vol. 11 of 14: A Collection of the Most Esteemed Dramatic Productions, With Biography of the Respective Authors and a Critique on Each Play; Containing Distress Mother, Venice Preserved, Oroonoko, Fair Penitent Madam, This tragedy, which I do myself the honour to dedicate to your Grace, is formed upon an original, which passes for the most finished piece, in this kind of writing, that has ever been produced in the French language. The principal action and main distress of the play is of such a nature, as seems more immediately to claim the patronage of a lady: and when I consider the great and shining characters of antiquity that are celebrated in it, I am naturally directed to inscribe it to a person, whose illustrious father has, by a long series of glorious actions (for the service of his country, and in defence of the liberties of Europe), not only surpassed the generals of his own time, but equalled the greatest heroes of former ages. The name of Hector could not be more terrible among the Greeks, than that of the Duke of Marlborough has been to the French.
