CHAPTER IV
EARLY ENGLISH TRAGEDY
I. LATIN TRAGEDIES.
Buchanan, while a master at the Collège de Guyenne at Bordeaux,
1539-42, translated into Latin Euripides's Medea and Alcestis and wrote
two Latin tragedies, Jephthes and Johannes Baptistes, to be performed by
his pupils. They were printed, the former in 1554, and the latter, which is
described by the author as his primus foetus, in 1576. Several translations
exist, one of Baptistes, ascribed to Milton, others, more recent, by Gibb, A.
(1870) and Mitchell, A. Gordon (1902). Ascham, in a well known passage
of The Scholemaster, commends, together with Jephthes, Thomas Watson's
Absalon--perhaps the Latin tragedy preserved in Stowe MS 957 in the
British Museum. This Thomas Watson (1513-84) must be distinguished from
the author of the Latin translation of Sophocles's Antigone, printed in 1581,
of which Gabriel Harvey writes in his copy of Gascoigne in the Bodleian
library: ‘magnifice acta solenni ritu et verè tragico apparatu. Nicholas
Grimald's Archipropheta, a tragedy on the subject of John the Baptist,
was printed at Cologne in 1548, and, apparently, written in 1547, when its
author was elected a senior at Christ Church, Oxford. It is an adaptation of
Johannes Decollatus by Jacob Schoepper of Dortmund, ptd at Cologne in
1546. (A translation by Charles J. Tibbits was published in 1906. ) Beza's
tragedy of Abraham's Sacrifice (in which Satan appears as a monk) appeared
in a translation by Arthur Golding in 1577. (Edited by Wallace, M. W. ,
University of Toronto Studies, 1907. ) John Foxe's Christus Triumphans,
published in 1556, and translated into English by Richard Day (1578), is a
religious drama of an early type. A list of university plays in Latin is given
in Fleay's English Drama, vol. 11, p. 359, and a fuller list, prepared by
Churchill, G. B. and Keller, W. , in Shakesp. Jahrb. vol. xxxiv, p. 221. See
