246 JE WISH LITER A TURE The first dramas in Hebrew belong to this period. Moses Zacut and Joseph Felix Penso wrote Hebrew dramas in the first half of the seventeenth century in Amsterdam.
The " Foundation of the World " by the former and the " Captives of Hope " by the latter possess little poetical merit, but they are interesting signs of the desire of Jews to use Hebrew for all forms of literary art. Hence these dramas were hailed as tokens of Jewish revival. Strangely enough, the only great
... writer of Hebrew plays, Moses Chayim Luzzatto (1707- 1747), was also resident in Amsterdam.
Luzzatto wrote under the influence of the Italian poet Guarini. His metres, his long soliloquies, his lyrics, his dovetailing of rural and urban scenery, are all directly traceable to Guarini. Luzzatto was never- theless an original poet. His mastery of Hebrew was complete, and his rich fancy was expressed in glowing lines. His dramas, " Samson," the " Strong Tower," AMSTERDAM 247 and " Glory to the Virtuous," show classi- cal refinement and freshness of touch, which have made them the models of all subsequent efforts of Hebrew dramatists.
