Excerpt from Dessalines: A Dramatic Tale, a Single Chapter From Haiti's HistoryEspecially with us has the art of drama writing been neglected. This fact is more deplorable when we pause to consider the potent in¿uence the drama wields in the reformation or vitiation of public opinion. In ancient Rome the drama was made the reformer of private vices and public morals. On the mimic stage were portrayed the direful results of the abuse of power, and kings were made acquainted with the needs of their subjects. The stage in those days, as it is today, was a mirror for despots to view their own iniquity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
