Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Incognita, or Love and Duty Reconcil´d It is probable that such Persons of Quality as troubled to scan, towards the end of the seventeenth century, the pages of The London Gazette, may occasionally have sought there an answer to that perennial question of Gentlewomen and Fops, ´Tell us, is there any New Wit come forth, Songs or Novels?´ If this were so, and if Belmour, or Mrs. Loveit, cast an eye over the 2742nd Number of that paper, covering the period from Thursday, February 18, to Monday, February 22, 1691(old style), they would have observed with complacency the first entry in the half column of Advertisements, which ran as follows: ´Incognita; Or, Love and Duty Reconciled. A Novel. Printed for Peter Buck, At the Sign of the Temple near Temple-Bar in Fleetstreet.´ The unpretentious duodecimo, which was thus introduced to the gaze of the Beau Monde, marked the formal entry into literature of a young gentleman of Staffordshire, who had received the first tincture of letters at the great school of Kilkenny, had been admitted, less than twelve months back, to the society of the Middle Temple, and was soon to be known to all the Town as the celebrated Mr. Congreve, the chosen inheritor of Dryden´s laurels. The piece was well enough received by the ingenious, and was indeed thought by some to be a copy from life.
