Abstract

Chastelard
January 18, 1866 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Chasterlard. A Tragedy," by Algernon Charles Swinburne. "Chasterlard" bears many signs of immaturity. The subject, indeed, is one which a man might select at any age, but the treatment of it, as it seems, is that of a man still young. The subject is one of the numerous flirtations of Queen Mary of Scotland, which makes, like so many of the rest, a very good theme for a tragedy. A drama involving this remarkable woman has, by the fact of her presence alone, a strong chance of success. The play or the novel is half made by the simple use of her name.
