Excerpt from Clytaemnestra: A Tragedy
When my friend Mr. Arnold Graves asked me to read the manuscript of Clytaemnestra and told me the nature of the task he had undertaken, I confess that I thought he had largely over-estimated his powers; but upon reading his work I was so much struck with its merits that I urged him to publish. For some time he hesitated, as he had designed his work for the stage and not for publication; but after consideration he resolved to act on my advice, on condition that I should write a Preface. As I make it a practice not to write unless I believe I have something somewhat new to say (I mean something that I do not know to have been often said before), I at first refused; but finding that my refusal would have prevented the publication of Clytaemnestra I consented with some reluctance.
