[EAN: 9780364265956], Neubuch, [PU: Forgotten Books, United States], Language: English. Brand new Book. Excerpt from Britain's Historical Drama: A Series of National Tragedies, Intended to Illustrate Manners, Customs, and Religious Institutions of Different Early Eras in Britain I am not conscious in the following work of taking greater liberties with history than all authors have hitherto done before me, in dramatic composition, and others are still doing in the form of historical romance. And here I would observe that it is not my intention, should these Tragedies be favourably received by the public, to drama tize some story selected out Of every king's reign known in British history, like Neele's Romances, but merely to take such portions of that history as are, I conceive, best suited to develop my plan, and at such distant periods from each other as I may think proper; yet so to be connected as to exhibit a diorama of those great changes which have taken place and followed each other, with regard to dynasties, manners, and religious institutions, during a long succession of years, down which has de scended the turbulent stream Of our national annals. I am well aware that this is a task Of considerable magnitude, requiring great labour of research, united with poetical and dramatic ability, to render it in any way a work that shall be pleasing and amusing, as well as instructive and useful, without descending to ribaldry and those ?ashes Of pernicious wit, which, though often brilliant, blast, like the lightning, the delicate ?owers of innocence and virtue, and destroy, as far as its fatal in?uence extends, that bulwark of society - good morals.
