Preface
In the latter part of the short Preface in The Chief Rivals of Corneille and Racine,1 which contains my translations of twelve tragedies by the lesser French-classical dramatists, I discussed briefly my choice of the plays selected from a larger number of possible candidates for inclusion, and then said: "There is quite enough material, it will be seen, to compose a desirable second volume, equal in size to this one, of minor French tragedies of the period." In the present book I have undertaken to do so.
I suggested that the contents of this second volume might well consist of Rotrou's Saint Genest, Du Ryer's Lucrce and Esther, Tristan l'Hermite's la Mort de Snque and Osman, "some play of La Calprende's" (la Mort de Mithridate or le Comte d'Essex), Thomas Corneille's Timocrate and Ariane, Quinault's Astrate, Pchantr's Gta, Campistron's Tiridate, and either Rotrou's Laure perscute or Hardy's pre-classical Mariamne. The new volume will be found to contain most but not all of these plays together with a few others not mentioned then.
As between Laure perscute and Hardy's Mariamne, it seemed to me that Laure, a tragi-comedy, belongs rather in a collection of comedies than in one of tragedies.2 One play with so corrupt a French text as Mariamne's was quite enough to have to deal with, and I accordingly abandoned with some regret all thought of translating any play by La Calprende.3Lucrce, too, I omitted despite the interest attaching to it as
