Its idioms and phraseology are English, thorough and correct English; his verses, with few exceptions, are symmetrical, simple, and sweet; and his diction throughout is dignified, as becomes the stately muse of tragedy, and often rises to sublime pitch, leaving all his contemporaries far behind." -Standard. "A noble play... The work of a true poet, and of a fine artist, in whom there is nothing vulgar and nothing weak... . We had no conception, from our knowledge of Mr. De Vere's former poems, that so much poetic power lay in him as this drama shows. It is terse as well as full of beauty, nervous as well as rich in thought."Spectator. 65, Cornhill; & 12, Paternoster Row, London. |
