Book Description
Excerpt from Kentish Poets, Vol. 1 of 2: A Series of Writers in English Poetry, Natives of Residents in the County of Kent; With Specimens of Their Compositions, and Some Account of Their Lives and Writings During the golden age of our poetry, the county of Kent produced a succession of writers, votaries of the Muse, exceeding in numerical amount, if not in character and reputation, that exhibited in the same period by any other province in the kingdom. It had also the honour, if such it be, of affording the scene of two of the earliest tragedies in our language. They were the works of unknown authors, but have, for the time in which they appeared, no inconsiderable share of merit. As we were prevented by circumstances which it would be useless to explain, from inserting an account of these early efforts of the dramatic muse in' the regular order of our series, we may perhaps be ex cosed if we venture to supply the deficiency in this place.
