Synopsis
Excerpt from Nicholas Rowe's Fair Penitent: A Contribution to Literary Analysis, With a Side-Reference to Richard Beer-Hofmann's Graf Von Charolais; A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Arts of the University of Berne in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
The first rule which Bossu prescribes to the writer of an heroic poem, and which holds too by the same reason in all dramatic poetry, is to make the moral of the work; that is, to lay down to yourself what that precept of morality shall be, which you would insinuate into the people It is the moral that directs the whole action of the play to one centre; and that action or fable is the example built upon the moral, which confirms the truth of it to our experience.1 This essay dates from 1679 and forms part of the preface to the tragedy of Troilus and Cressida.
