Excerpt from The Betrothed or Love in Death: A Play in Five Acts In this connection it is quite satisfactory to know that the unity of time and place, after having been strongly adhered to in the Greek and Roman Theatre, inculcated by the mediæval school, and subsequently admitted more or less as a matter of taste, rather than an opinion of judgment, has been subsequently insisted on by certain of the Continental-European critics of Dramatic propriety as one of the most essential criterions for the legitimate Drama. It is of no use to hold out the example of certain unapproachably successful predecessors, who wrote without any definite or regular formation of structure, as any reason for an utter abandonment of any and all rules. If the Drama is an Art, it must be subjected to the usage of art, and become submissive to rule. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
