There are theorists who would, by definition, exclude from the domain of drama any such cinematograph-play, as they would probably call it; but we shall see cause, as we go on, to distrust definitions, especially when they seek to clothe themselves with the authority of laws. What else is Ben Jonson's Bartholomew Fair? What else is Schiller's Wallensteins Lager?
Let us trust, if that war shall beget its new Tillys and Wallensteins, it shall also beget its new Gustavus Adolphus, and many another child of Light: but let us not hope that we can stand by in idle comfort, and that when the overflowing scourge passes by it shall not reach to us. Shame to us, were that our destiny!
On Wallenstein there are two standard German works: Leopold von Ranke, Geschichte Wallensteins, 3d ed. , and Anton Gindely, Waldstein, 1625-1630, 2 vols. . The best brief treatment of European international relations in the time of Richelieu and Mazarin is Emile Bourgeois, Manuel historique de politique etrangere, 4th ed., Vol. I , ch. i, ii, vi.
