Download or read book Mary Stuart written by Friedrich Schiller and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mary Stuart: A Tragedy in Five Acts From the German of Schiller The first performance of Mary Stuart in this country in English is said by C01. T. Allston Brown, whose dicta as to theatrical matters are bound to command respect, to have been given at the Walnut Street Theatre, in Philadelphia, during the season of 1865-66, by Jean Davenport Lander; but it has been found impossible to verify this statement. It has been found equally impossible to identify the Mary Stuart produced at the Tremont Theatre, Boston, on December 13, 1829, by Mrs. J. R. Duff, at a single performance for this lady's benefit, as a translation of Schiller's play, though the cast of characters, so far as it can be traced, makes this seem to be the fact. Mrs. Duff was the Mary Stuart of this performance, Mrs. G. Barrett the Elizabeth, Mr. Scott the Leicester, and Mr. W. H. Smith the Mortimer. This piece, what ever its source, does not seem to have been repeated by Mrs. Duff or any other, in Boston or elsewhere; but if, as seems probable, it was a translation of Schiller's play, Its unique production slenderly carries off the honors of priority. But whether or not Mrs. Lander played the part in 1865 in Philadelphia in some experimental version, and whatever the origin of Mrs. Duff's isolated performance, Mrs. Lander may fairly be credited with having created the part of Mary Stuart in the United States, since her first appearance in a version of the play prepared expressly for her use by herself and Mr. George Becks can he established definitely, and since her presentation of the character, thus initiated, had a national and not merely a local recognition and repute.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from German American Annals, Vol. 14: Continuation of the Quarterly Americana Germanica; Jan., Feb., Mar., And Apr., 1912 During the last decade of the eighteenth century and the first quarter of the nineteenth, German plays in translation were fre quently performed on the English stage in America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mothers The modern German drama in prose, more perhaps than the drama Of any age or country, has set itself the aim Of understanding the nature and the qualities Of human life. This effort, made and pursued with an almost consecrated earnestness, has necessarily tended to break the moulds into which the traditional art Of the theatre had been cast. We cannot too Often remind ourselves that that art made its selec tion from the material of life not only under the limitations Of a few essential conventions, but Of many that were unmeaning and arbitrary. In ex treme cases it ceased to bear any relation to reality and became an artifice sustained only by its own fragile laws and living only during the brief and hec tic hours of actual representation. Congreve is a great writer and Scribe a very small one. As imita tions or interpretations of human life the plays Of neither have more meaning than a game of billiards. But an imitation or interpretation of human life is the. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
