D. Plays published separately
The Fall of Robespierre. An historic drama. Cambridge, 1794. (Act i by
Coleridge, Acts 11, 111 by Southey. )
[Coleridge's contribution, obviously under the influence of Shake-
speare's Julius Caesar, presents the scheming and contriving of the
anti-Robespierre faction. Acts II and in by Southey depict the fall of
Robespierre at the Convention. The whole play suggests that Robespierre
had become a tyrant, but, with its pretentious rhetoric and lack of
characterisation, it reads more like a second Reflections on the French
Revolution than a drama. The poets, between them, have succeeded in
suggesting no unworthy idea of the spirit of freedom finding outlet in
action. ]
Wallenstein. A Drama in Two Parts. 1799–1800 (i. e. The Piccolomini,
5 acts; The Death of Wallenstein, 5 acts. The one-act prelude,

Bibliography
Wallenstein's Lager, making up Schiller's original trilogy, was not
transl. ). Rptd 1866, 1889 (Bohn).
[This translation is Coleridge's most substantial contribution to the
English stage. At a time when Ireland had pearly persuaded the public
to accept arid rhetoric for Shakespeare, and “Monk' Lewis had quite
persuaded them to take spectacular melodrama for tragedy, Coleridge
introduced them to Schiller's virile German drama (despite its rococo
love scenes), with its lesson of destiny, ambition and heroism. The
rapidly moving plot, with its fine speeches and characters outlined
clearly by action, must have been a revelation after Kotzebue (the only
German dramatist familiar at that time to the general public), and may
have helped indirectly to inspire the dramatic efforts of Shelley and
Byron. Coleridge's versification is uneven, but the translation is scholarly;
and English idiom is not sacrificed to literal accuracy. ]
Remorse. A Tragedy in five Acts. 1813. 2nd edn. 1813. 3rd edn. 1813.
(The revised version of Osorio, which Coleridge had sent to Sheridan
as early as 1797 and which was ptd ‘from a copy recently discovered,'
ed. Shepherd, R. H. , 1873. )
[The theme, familiar to xviii century readers (cf. Cumberland's The
Brothers and Schiller's Die Räuber), is that of the elder brother return-
ing to his betrothed and his home from which his scheming cadet has
ousted him. The play has some fine passages, e. g. the monologue (act v,
sc. 1), where Alvar, in the dungeon of the Inquisition, gives expression,
like Condorcet, to his dreams of the perfectibility of mankind; but
Remorse is neither true tragedy nor true drama. The age still tended
towards a drawing-room ideal of self-restraint and sentimentality, and
Coleridge, falling, like all his contemporaries, under this influence, has
not portrayed the complex yet primitive nature of the great passions,
but only their rhetoric. ]
Zapolya.
A Christmas Tale in two parts. 1817.
[Described by the author as a dramatic poem''in humble imitation
of the Winter's Tale. The play has more movement than Remorse
and works up to an unmistakable climax, but the personages are still
hardly more than declamatory rhetoricians. The character of Laska,
Casimir's steward, shows some knowledge of stage requirements, but is
not convincing. As in Remorse, there is a romantic background of
gorgeous palaces and labyrinthine caverns, and some fine poetry (e. g.
pt I, act 1, sc. 1, Kiuprili's tirade on the fallacy of popular opinion). ]
