-In 1798, Elizabeth Inchbald adapted Kotzebue’s play ''[[Das Kind der Liebe]]'' for the Theatre-Royal at Covent Garden apparently from what she styled "a literal translation".  Inchbald's version seems to have been the only one performed and opened at Covent Garden on Thursday, 11 October 1798 and ran for forty-two nights. A very successful play in its time, it is  arguably best known today for having been featured in Jane Austen's novel ''Mansfield Park'' (1814).
+The play is infact not original, but an English translation and adaptation of the German play ''[[Das Kind der Liebe]]'' ("The love-child") by August Friedrich Ferdinand von Kotzebue (1761-1819)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_von_Kotzebue].
-It was in fact one of at least four [[English]] adaptations of August von Kotzebue's play, all of which were published between 1798 and 1800: ''[[Lovers' Vows]]'' by Elizabeth Inchbald (1798); ''[[The Natural Son]]'' by Anne Plumptre (1798); ''[[Lovers’ Vows; or, The Natural Son]]'' by Benjamin Thompson (1800); ''[[Lovers’ Vows, or The Child of Love]]'' by Stephen Porter (1798). Elizabeth Inchbald's version  appears to have been the first performed (Covent Garden, 1798) and was done often after that, though the other texts were also used later (e.g. Ms Plumptre's play was apparently done in New York under the title ''[[Lovers' Vows]]'' on November 22,1799).
