Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Thomas Otway, Vol. 3 of 3: With Notes, Critical and Explanatory, and a Life of the Author Although Otway, as a comic writer, is not destitute of vigour, the great strength and felicity of his powers lay evidently in tragedy. As nature was cultivated by him with more assiduity than books, he thence acquired so powerful a controul over our feelings in the latter species of composition; whilst from the same cause, and, perhaps, an habitual neglect of decency, his comedies abound with images and sentiments which unfit them for being the vehicles of elegant amusement. So long as the nation shall not fortify itself, by the arts of affectation, against nature and passion, the representation of this tragedy and the "Orphan" will still be attended with applause, and the perusal with delight. Much has been said concerning the familiar and domestic character of Otway´s plots, and his rejection of that pomp of action, and magnificence of sentiment, which are the chief support of many pieces, and appear, indeed, to have occupied, by general consent, the throne of tragedy. But in "Venice Preserved" these two modes seem blended with art and delicacy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
