Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Old English Dramatists, the friends and co-temporaries of Shakspeare, have contributed one of the most valuable portions to the poetic literature of our country. But-abounding as they do in wit and fancy, in force and copiousness of expression, in truth and variety of character, in rapid change of incidents, in striking and interesting situations, and, above all, in justice and elevation of sentiment-their works are totally unknown to the generality of readers, and are only found in the hands of an adventurous few, who have deviated from the beaten paths of study to explore for themselves less familiar and exhausted tracts of literary amusement. The neglect of these authors, in an age so favourable to works of imagination as the present, can only be ascribed to that occasional coarseness of language which intermixes with and pollutes the beauty of their most exquisite scenes. For what may be termed the licentiousness of the stage, for immorality of principle, for that offence which was transplanted from France to England with the court of Charles the Second, our old dramatists do not require the aid of any apologist. They are innocent of attempting to confound the notions of right and wrong, or of seeking to influence the bad passions of our nature against the first great principles of morals. These were the corruptions of a later and more vicious age. With the earlier play-writers, the bent of the story and the interest of the spectator are always directed to the side of virtue; but the objection against them is, that though they armed themselves in her cause, they were too little scrupulous what kind of weapon they employed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Plays of Philip Massinger: With Notes Critical and Explanatory Massinger was born, as all the writers of his life agree. At Salisbury, probably at Wilton, the seat of the Earl of Pembroke, in whose family he appears to have been educated. W hen he reached his six teenth year, he sustained an irreparable loss in the death of that worthy nobleman', who, from attach ment to the father, would, not improbably, have extended his powerful patronage to the young poet. He was succeeded in his titles and estates by his son William, the third Earl of Pembroke; one of the brightest characters that adorned the court of Eliza beth and James. He was, as s Wood, not only a great favourer of learned an ingenious men, but was himself learned, and endowed to admiration with a poetical geny. As by those amorous and poetical aires and poems of his composition doth evident] appear some of which had musical notes set to t em by Hen. Lawes and Nich. Lancare. Ath. I. 546.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Plays of Philip Massinger: From the Text of William Gifford, With the Addition of the Tragedy "Believe as You List" Popular as Massinger must have been during the latter part of his life, he was utterly forgotten during the rule of the Puritans, and smroely remembered for many years after the Restoration. During this period, indeed, the dramatists ot' the preceding generation seem to have been valued in proportion as indecency predominated in their writings, and Beaumont and Fletcher were greatly more popular than Shabpeare. But the public taste in every way was perverted, and if others had been as honest as Samuel Pepys we should have had many such records as To Deptford by water, reading Othello, Moor qf Venue, which I ever heretofore esteemed a mighty good play, but having so lately read The Adventures of Five Houres, 1! Seems a mean thing Betterton indeed detected the fine opening which The Bomlman and The Roman Actor afforded to his grand powers of declamation, but it is probable that the exhibition was attended with more pleasure to the player than to the public. At length Nicholas Rowe, sixty-four years after Massinger's death, determined upon collecting and publishing his works, but after mature deliberation considered it more judicious to plunder the dead man rather than attempt to revive him. Nothing can show more decisively the oblivion into which Massinger had falim than that Rowe should think it possible to escape detection in his wholesale looti For a time, too, he was thoroughly successful. His Gay Lothario took such a ho in the English mind that he still dwells in the English tongue, and nearly eighty yous later, when Johnson pronounced this shameless plagiarism to be one of the most pleasing tragedies on the stage, where it still keeps its turns of appearing, and probably will long keep them, for there is scarcely any work of any poet at once so interesting by the fable, and so delightful by the language, he was evidently not aware that every thing in the play really deserving admiration, except the mere harmonious versifica tion, was the work of another man. And yet Johnson was himself a Shakspearian commentator! Of the baseness and shabbiness ot' Rowe's conduct in the afl'air it is impossible to speak with patience, and one feels quite grateful to the Earl of Oxford for loading him that famous dance about the Spanish language. Time too has already put the matter square. The once fashionable Fair Penitent is read by no one, and will probably never be reprinted, while The Fatal Dowry is perused year after year by in, creasing numbers with increasing admiration.
