The Tragedies of Maddalen, Agamemnon, Lady Macbeth, Antonia Clytemnestra (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Tragedies of Maddalen, Agamemnon, Lady Macbeth, Antonia Clytemnestra These Dramas are the sketches of pastime, and as such are offered to the public. Maddalen was written in the Lazzaretto of Messina, to lighten the captivity of quarantine; Clytemnestra during a passage from Sardinia to Gibraltar; Agamemnon in the course of my voyage from that fortress to Ireland; Antonia, while obliged to perform a second quarantine in Cork harbour; and Lady Macbeth, at subsequent intervals, when I could contrive no better way of employing my attention. In compositions so hasty, polished correctness ought not to be expected. I think it would be easier to write others than to make these more worthy of perusal, by any application which I might exert; and I have printed them, because I do not think that they ought to be destroyed.
