This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Translation was prepared upwards of two years ago, with the view of being produced on the English Stage. The part of IOLANTHE, one of the most exquisite creations of modern poetry, seemed to be peculiarly adapted to the genius of Miss HELEN FAUCIT. It was accepted and studied by that lady, the alterations required by the exigencies of the Stage were made, and the piece was on the point of being produced by her in Dublin last season, when circumstances occasioned its temporary postponement. The recent production of the piece at the Strand Theatre took place with Miss FAUCIT Spermission; and it has afforded the most gratifying proof, that there is no want of either inclination or power in an English audience to appreciate a Drama which owes its effect solely to the simplicity of its structure, the ideal beauty of its central character, and the atmosphere of poetry and old romance by which it is pervaded.

He was born of Jewish parents in Copenhagen. His father died in his infancy, and the family property was destroyed in the bombardment of 1807.
Not to be confused with Heinrich Hertz, a German physicist. In 1817 he was sent to the university. The boy was brought up by his relative, M. L. Nathanson, a well-known newspaper editors Young Hertz passed his examination in law in 1825.
But his taste was all for polite literature, and in 1826-1827 two plays of his were produced, Mr. Burchardt and his Family and Love and Policy. In 1828 followed the comedy of Flyttedagen.
In 1830 he brought out what was a complete novelty in Danish literature, a comedy in rhymed verse, Amor"s Strokes of Genius. In the same year Hertz published anonymously Gengangerbrevene, or Letters from a Ghost, which he pretended were written by Baggesen, who had died in 1826.
The book was written in defence of Johan Ludvig Heiberg, and was full of satirical humour and fine critical insight.
Its success was overwhelming. But Hertz preserved his anonymity, and the secret was not known until many years later. In 1832 he published a didactic poem, Nature and Art, and Four Poetical Epistles.
A Day on the Island of Als was his next comedy, followed in 1835 by The Only Fault.
Hertz passed through Germany and Switzerland into Italy in 1833. He spent the winter there, and returned the following autumn through France to Denmark.
In 1836 his comedy of The Savings Bank enjoyed a great success. But it was not till 1837 that he gave the full measure of his genius in the romantic national drama of Svend Dyrings Huus, a beautiful and original piece.
This was a highly romanticised account of the life of Yolande, Duchess of Lorraine.
To this succeeded the tragedy of Ninon in 1848, the romantic comedy of Tonietta in 1849, A Sacrifice in 1853. The Youngest in 1854. His lyrical poems appeared in successive collections, dated 1832, 1840 and 1844.
From 1858 to 1859 he edited a literary journal entitled Weekly Leaves.
His last drama, Three Days in Padua, was produced in 1869, and he died on the 25th of February of the next year. Hertz is one of the first of Danish lyrical poets.
His poems are full of colour and passion, his versification has more witch-craft in it than any other poet"s of his age, and his style is grace itself. He has all the sensuous fire of Keats without his proclivity to the antique.
As a romantic dramatist he is scarcely less original.
He has bequeathed to the Danish theatre, in Svend Dyrings Huus and King René"s Daughter, two pieces which have become classic. He is a troubadour by instinct. He has little or nothing of Scandinavian local colouring, and succeeds best when he is describing the scenery or the emotions of the glowing south.
His Dramatic Works (18 vols) were published at Copenhagen in 1854-1873.
And his Poems (4 vols) in 1851-1862.
