Synopsis

Excerpt from The Poetical and Dramatic Works, Vol. 4 of 4: Founded on the Author's Latest Edition of 1834 With Many Additional Pieces Now First Included and With a Collection of Various Readings

This Tragedy was written in the summer and autumn of the year 1797, at Nether Stowey, in the county of Somerset. By whose recommendation, and of the manner in which both the Play and the Author were treated by the recommender, let me be permitted to relate that I knew of its having been received only by a third person; that I could procure neither answer nor the manuscript; and that but for an accident I should have had no copy of the work itself. That such treatment would damp a young man's exertions may be easily conceived: there was no need of after-mis representation and calumny, as an additional sedative.
