Venice preserved

by Thomas Otway

Quote first Line: "Is a play evidently the result of acute remark upon the influence of passion on life. The Author seems to have consulted nature in his own mind, and unfortunately his own mind was corrupt." End Quote About the author: 1651 - 1685 Quote: Little is with any certainty known of the great Author of VENICE PRESERVED. - In the licentious days of Charles II. it is believed neither the *virtues* nor the *vices* of OTWAY were sufficiently prominent to distinguish him.
