Book Description
Excerpt from Lillo's Dramatic Works, Vol. 1 of 2: With Memoirs of the Author; Containing Mr. Lillo's Life; Silvia or the Country Burial, an Opera; George Barnwell, a Tragedy; The Life of Scanderbeg; The Christian Hero, a Tragedy Sir, Permit me to claim your patronage for the works of George Lillo, an author whose dramatic scenes are rich in plain sense and strong passion, in truth of character and sound moral. The world is indebted to this writer for the invention of a new species of dramatic poetry, which may properly be termed the inferior or lesser tragedy. Otway, Southern and Rowe had indeed taught the Tragic Muse a softer tone, and had lowered the buskin, to adapt it to characters beneath the rank of Kings, and Demigods; but still the persons of their Dramas, though less illustrious, were of the noble and elevated order. Lillo formed his plots from private histories, and his characters seldom rose higher than the middle class of life.
