MARTINUZZI.
BY GEORGE STEPHENS, ESQ.
Taken by him from his “magnificent” Dramatic Poem, entitled, The Hungarian Daughter.
The Solos, Duets, Chorusses, and every other Musical arrangement the Law may require, by Mr. DAVID LEE.
The following Opinions of the Press on the Actable qualities of the Dramatic Poem, are selected from a vast mass of similar notices.
“Worthy of the Stage in its best days.”—The Courier.
“Effective situations; if well acted, it could not fail of success.”—New Bell’s Messenger.
“The mantle of the Elizabethan Poets seems to have fallen on Mr. Stephens, for we have scarcely ever met with, in the works of modern dramatists, the truthful delineations of human passion, the chaste and splendid imagery, and continuous strain of fine poetry to be found in The Hungarian Daughter.”—Cambridge Journal.
“Equal to Goethe. All is impassioned and effective. The Poet has availed himself of every tragic point, and brought together every element; nor, with the exception, of Mr. Knowles’s Love, has there been a single Drama, within the last four years, presented on the Stage at all comparable.—Monthly Magazine.
