Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The London Theatre, Vol. 3: A Collection of the Most Celebrated Dramatic Pieces
One of the first of our dramatic poems (as it is justly termed by the editor of the Biographin Dramatica), was produced at Drury Lane in 1713, and performed eighteen nights successively; at that time considered a very successful run, particnluly for a tragedy. Dr. Johnson, Mr. Pope, Sir Rich ard Steele, Dr. Garth, Dennis, and other able critics have stunped this tragedy as a British classic; and a succession of audiences for a cen tury have proved that it has deserved.
