MARY STUART.
A TRAGEDY.
By Friedrich Schiller
NOTE: The translation of MARY STUART is that by the late Joseph
Mellish, who appears to have been on terms of intimate friendship with
Schiller. His version was made from the prompter’s copy, before the
play was published, and, like Coleridge’s Wallenstein, contains many
passages not found in the printed edition. These are distinguished by
brackets. On the other hand, Mr. Mellish omitted many passages which
now form part of the printed drama, all of which are now added. The
translation, as a whole, stands out from similar works of the time
(1800) in almost as marked a degree as Coleridge’s Wallenstein, and
some passages exhibit powers of a high order; a few, however,
especially in the earlier scenes, seemed capable of improvement, and
these have been revised, but, in deference to the translator, with a
sparing hand.
