It was afterwards dramatised at the Earl of Barrymore's Theatre, Wargrave, Berks., and in 1791. After that the subject was produced at Covent Garden Theatre as a Pantomime. "Beauty and the Beast," the latter a white bear, is to be found in "Popular Tales from the Norse," by Mr. Dasent, and in the collection of "Popular Tales from the German" by the Brothers Grimm.
The idea of the Fall, as dramatised by Israel and interpreted by the "Doctors" of the West, gives adequate expression on the highest level of his thinking to the crude dualism which constitutes the philosophy of the average man.
Diana Vernon, too, is perhaps the most attractive and surely-drawn in all Scott's gallery of portraits of distinguished women. "Rob Roy" was dramatised shortly after its appearance in book form; Scott himself first witnessed a performance of it at Edinburgh on February 15, 1819, the same company later appearing in it at Glasgow before George IV.

Ten thousand copies of a three-volume novel are certainly a ponderous cargo, and Constable printed no fewer in his first edition. Scott was assured of his own triumph in February 1819, when a dramatised version of his novel was acted in Edinburgh by the company of Mr. William Murray, a descendant of the traitor Murray of Broughton.

Carlyle has dramatised from Lacretelle, concerning the canaille, the masses, as we used to call them a generation since: "A dumb generation their voice only an inarticulate cry. Spokesman, in the king's council, in the world's forum, they have none that finds credence.
Is physiognomy true? or phrenology? or graphology? or cheiromancy? If so, what are their laws? Is there an English hexameter? Is a perfect translation impossible? Will the coloured races conquer? Is consumption curable? Is celibacy possible? Can novels be really dramatised? Is the French school of acting superior to ours? Should literary men be offered peerages? or refuse them?
For the fact is that the donnée is very much more of the Romantic than of the Classical description, and offers much greater conveniences to the Romantic than to the Classical practitioner. With minor variations, the story as generally dramatised is this.
Was it his fault if he was making more money than ever and the inner circles of the unread elect seemed more firmly closed than ever? At this time, Delancey avoided me, but I heard that "Transition" was to be dramatised and that the film rights had been bought.
Beginning with the foolishness of a dance at that time of year even a "tennis-dance" as they called it the subsequent theatrical quality of the night's adventure seemed to me, just then, altogether garish and fantastic. I began to wonder how far I had dramatised and distorted the actual events by the exercise of a romantic imagination?
In the drama the result is far from answering to the poet's expectation. The proof is that the poets who have dramatised the whole story of the Fall of Troy, instead of selecting portions, like Euripides; or who have taken the whole tale of Niobe, and not a part of her story, like Aeschylus, either fail utterly or meet with poor success on the stage.
