Coleridge (Samuel Taylor).
Remorse. A Tragedy, in Five Acts.
“Remorse” has a prologue in verse by Charles Lamb, the play being written in 1797, but not performed until 1813 in London’s Drury Lane, where it enjoyed some success, earning Coleridge £400. Coleridge was not displeased when some of the reviews condemned his metaphysics, claiming that he therefore was cleansing the stage. The play is bound up with copies of Knowles’s “Woman’s Wit or, Love’s Disguises”, 1838; Colman’s “A Trip to Calais … to which is annexed The Capuchin”, 1788; Milman’s “Fazio, A Tragedy”, seventh edition, 1831; Dibdin’s “The Cabinet; a Comic Opera”, 1810, and Sir James Bland Burges’s “Riches: or the Wife and Brother, a Play, in Five Acts, founded on Massinger’s Comedy of the City Madam”, third edition, 1814.
