Über Schillers Wallenstein in Hinsicht auf griechische Tragödie.

The Minister: A Tragedy

17971260411797. London: Printed for J. Bell 1797. 8vo 4 220 pp. Lacking front blank. Contemporary half calf gilt lettered label on backstrip skillfully rehinged; boards worn title page toned light stain in top margins but generally a sound copy with interesting marks of early provenance see below. § From the library of Lord Dunmore last royal governor of Virigina. A translation of Schiller's Cabale und Liebe by M.G. "Monk" Lewis the author of the Gothic novel The Monk published the year before. The front pastedown bears the ownership inscription of Lady Susan Thorpe dated 1797 her presentation inscription "Her gift to Lord Dunmore 1799" beneath and the Dunmore Library bookplate with shelf mark. The name "Susan" in the same hand appears again at the start of act one perhaps indicating Lady Thorpe read the part of Elizabeth Munster. Given the date of the gift it is most likely the recipient was John Murray 4th Earl of Dunmore the last royal governor of Virginia. Dunmore fled to New York after the burning of Norfolk in 1776. He was later Governor of the Bahamas but lost his post when his daughter eloped with the son of George III. By 1799 he was in retirement in England aged 69. He died in Ramsgate Kent in 1809. Lewis's advertisement for the play merits recording in full: "The following pages contain a Translation of Schiller's" Cabale und Liebe." A Play calling itself a Version of that admired Tragedy has already appeared in England but so extremely ill executed and in so mutilated a condition as to leave scarce a shadow of resemblance between the Original and the Copy. The Author has taken the liberty of omitting whole characters and scenes and in several places has thought proper to substitute his own sentiments for Schiller's; an alteration by which the Piece is very far from gaining. - Lest the present Translation should be mistaken for the former I have thought it right to change the Names both of the Characters and of the Play itself; in every other respect I have endeavoured to keep strictly to the Original: and when I offer my Translation to the Public it gives me some confidence to reflect that although this second attempt may be as bad as the first it is utterly impossible for it to be worse. M. G. LEWIS. unknown

Period half calf and marbled boards green morocco spine label. Some foxing to portrait and first few leaves. First edition of Coleridge's English translation. Engraved portrait. iv 214; ii ii general title 157 1 ads pp. with half-title to first part and general title "Wallenstein. A Drama in Two Parts" bound with second part. 8vo. The first English edition of Schiller's Wallenstein set in Germany during the Thirty Years War and translated by Samuel Taylor Coleridge from a manuscript copy of the first German edition of 1799. Coleridge completed much of the translation - a free and poetic translation in blank verse - at Lamb's home in London seated at his desk in "a voluminous five-penny floral dressing-gown decorated with hieroglyphics . looking suspiciously 'like a conjuror' according to Lamb" Holmes Coleridge: Early Visions p. 261. The translation which omitted the first part of Schiller's trilogy Wallenstein's Camp was done in part to capitalize on the contemporary fashion for Schiller whose verse-drama The Robbers Coleridge had long admired. It was one of many of Coleridge's translation schemes hatched during his time abroad studying the language and literature of Germany. "In the event the project was a financial disaster earning him only Â£50 in advances while Longman lost Â£250 on the combined editions" ibid p. 267. Despite that Coleridge "was proud of his work and long afterwards described it as 'a specimen of my happiest attempt during the prime manhood of my intellect before I had been buffeted by adversity or crossed by fatality" ibid p. 268.
