What reading level is Voltaire On the English Stage book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1762-63, a time between the publication of Francklin 's translation of Voltaire's Oreste and its stage presentation, Shirley 's play was accepted and put into rehearsal, but it was refused a license by two successive lord chamberlains. Shirley perforce yielded and was content with the publica- tion of his Avork in 1765. A possible rival of Francklin 's Oreste was thus banished from the stage.
2'3 Francklin 's version of Voltaire 's Oreste does not represent the only trace of that play to app...ear in England. Fifty years after its last per- formance at Drury Lane there was given at Covent Garden, on April 20, 1825, a play called Orestes in Argos, by Peter Bayley. The author an- nounced that in the first part of the tragedy he was much indebted to Sophocles, in the latter to Alfieri, and that one incident was suggested hy the Oreste of Voltaire. Genest (ix, 305) remarked that "considerably more is borrowed from Voltaire, than is here acknowledged — but it may have been borrowed through the medium of Alfieri.
