Book excerpt: Excerpt from La Calprenede's Romances and the Restoration Drama, Vol. 2 The present study of the influence of La Calprenede's romances, Cassandra and Cleopatra, on the late seventeenth-century drama is the second of a series concerned with the influence of types of novels on the plays of the period. The first of the series presented the influence of the pastoral romances. On tracing this influence it was found that in the second half of the century new currents of influence were setting in; and that while the older influences persisted to a greater or less extent and in some cases lent themselves with modification to the new spirit, they were no longer in control. Chief among the new forces was the French heroic romance, a type having its beginning in D'Urfe's Astrea (1607-19), maturing in Gombervillz's Polexander (1629-37), and flowering luxuriantly in the romances of La Calprenede and Mile Seudery. And this was the type selected for the present investigation. As the study proceeded the necessity of setting some limitations became imperative, and La Calprenede was chosen as the representative of the heroic school. Later it was found advisable still further to limit the study to Cassandra and Cleopatra. It is hoped that the range is sufficiently broad to indicate the main lines of influence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greyslaer, Vol. 2 of 2: A Romance of the Mohawk Clad in the deepest mourning, the orphan heiress of the Hawksnest sits by the trellised window, gazing out upon the lovely fields, of which the supposed death of her lover and relative has made her the possessor. Her wild brother, surrendermg his share in the estate to her, has gone to seek a soldier's fortune or a patriot's death by fighting in the armies of his country. The green mound that covers the remains of her last surviving parent and of her only sister is seen through a vista of trees upon a swell of land beyond. It is the mellow hour of twilight, when the thoughtful heart loves best to ponder upon such mementoes of the departed. And has Alida, when her eye o'erbrims, and her hands are clasped in agitation at the thoughts of the cruel fate which has overtaken her household - has she no thought, no one woman's regretful tear for the lover who had dared everything to shield these who were dear to her from 'harm; the lover who had' thrown away his own life'in the effort to snatch her from a captivity worse than death?
