Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Fisher Maiden
The characters are, perhaps, less ideal than those of his peasant stories, and the style throughout ih dicates that the author has entered upon a new era in his literary development. His aim here is to show how irresistible is the power of innate voca tion and natural talent, and to vindicate the theatre as a place not only of amusement, but also of ih struction, against the unjust criticisms of the clergy.
