Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Lord Byron, Vol. 5
But some would have it that Byron's plays, as a whole, are 'dull and uninspiring, mono'tonous harpings on worn-out themes, which every one has mastered or wishes to forget. A close study of the text, together with some knowledge of the subject as it presented itself to the author and arrested iii: attention, may compel these impatient critics to a different conclusion. Byron did not scruple to refer the reader to his sources, and was at pains to publish, in the notes and appendices to his dramas and poems, long extracts from old chronicles.
