Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Anne Boleyn: A Dramatic Poem
The subject of the following Drama had long appeared to me peculiarly adapted to the purposes of Poetry. I had, some time ago, imagined a sketch, in a great degree similar to that which I have now filled up. The course cf professional Study, which led me to the early Annals of our Church, recalled it to my remembrance, and, 'as it were, forced it on my attention. In the outline of the Plot, and the development of the characters, especially that of Anne Boleyn, I have endeavoured to preserve historical truth: where' History is silent, I have given Free scope to poetic licence.
