Rienzi: The Last of the Roman Tribunes
(Forgotten Books Dec. 1, 2017)
Excerpt from Rienzi: The Last of the Roman Tribunes
Preserving generally the real chronology Of Ri enzi's life, the plot Of this work extends over a space of some years, and embraces the variety Of characters necessary to a true delineation of events. The story, therefore, cannot have precisely that order of interest found in fictions strictly and genuinely dramatic, in which (to my judgment at least) the time ought to be as limited as possible, and the characters as few; - no new character Of importance to the catastrophe being admissible towards the end of the work. If I may use the word Epic in its most modest and um assuming acceptation, this Fiction, in short, though indulging in dramatic situations, belongs, as a whole, rather to the Epic than the Dramatic school.
