Excerpt from Tragedies to Which Are Added a Few Sonnets and Verses In publishing the following Dramas in a cheap and compact form, I have little to express except my thanks for the indulgence which has been extended towards them. If I had felt at liberty to alter them, I should have been tempted to do more than correct some verbal errors, and curtail a few palpable redundancies of language; but I feel that when a work has been once fairly presented to the public, and, to the full extent of the author's hopes, accepted, he is no longer at liberty to treat it as exclusively his own; and, therefore, I have confined my own corrections within the narrow limit I have suggested. In addition to the few sonnets which accompanied the former editions, I have collected a few more which have appeared in periodical works, and added some verses which have not been before printed. Here I might close this preface - as the slender matters which have reference to each Drama have been noticed in the Advertisement prefixed to each - if I did not think that I ought not to allow the present occasion to pass without noticing a misconception of the author of "The Hungarian Daughter," which, although not perhaps calling for a separate protest, and certainly not justifying any hostile remark, should not pass unnoticed in a collected edition which includes the passage on which it is founded. Mr. Stephens - an author endowed with real tragic power, though not perhaps always adapting it to the purposes of theatrical representation - sharing with other Dramatic Poets the strong and natural desire of seeing works designed for the stage presented upon it - seems to have divided the plays of the present day into two classes, "the acted" and the "unacted," as if the distinction implied some essential difference in merit or kind, and not a mere difference of fortune; and to have sought for the latter a great pre-eminence in critical opinion over the former.

Greek Tragedy And The British Theatre 1660 1914 written by Edith Hall and has been published by OUP Oxford this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2005-07-14 with Literary Criticism categories.

This lavishly illustrated book offers the first full, interdisciplinary investigation of the historical evidence for the presence of ancient Greek tragedy in the post-Restoration British theatre, where it reached a much wider audience - including women - than had access to the original texts. Archival research has excavated substantial amounts of new material, both visual and literary, which is presented in chronological order. But the fundamental aim is to explain why Greek tragedy, which played an elite role in the curricula of largely conservative schools and universities, was magnetically attractive to political radicals, progressive theatre professionals, and to the aesthetic avant-garde. All Greek has been translated, and the book will be essential reading for anyone interested in Greek tragedy, the reception of ancient Greece and Rome, theatre history, British social history, English studies, or comparative literature.

Excerpt from Tragedies to Which Are Added a Few Sonnets and Verses Mr. Stephens, are conscious of power which has not oh tained the fair opportunity of trial before living audiences, to console themselves by the expression of their belief that, with the exception of a few modern tragedies which cannot get represented, the hundred and eighty years since the adoption of the odious monopoly has not pro duced a single Play that will live at the present cen tury but it would ill become one whose dramatic efforts have obtained their full measure of attention, to sit thus in judgment on those of his contemporaries who have not only attained splendid theatrical success, but high and lasting renown. I may be allowed to add that, while I am not only content but happy to attribute much of the success of the two first Dramas to personal regards, I feel that it was an honest success; for, believing that the liberal issue of orders has conduced greatly to impair the love for the Drama, and to impoverish the managers of theatres, Ihave always declined to solicit or use them and have never obtained, or written, or given one on any representation of either of my Plays.
