(Literally "The child of love") A German play in five acts by August von Kotzebue.
Contents
The original text
Published in 1780.
Translations and adaptations
At least four English adaptations of the play were published between 1798 and 1800, under various titles (e.g. as Lovers' Vows by Elizabeth Inchbald; The Natural Son by Anne Plumptre; etc.) Only Elizabeth Inchbald's version appears to have been performed in that time (Covent Garden, 1798), and it was that version which was the play famously rehearsed by Jane Austen's characters in the novel Mansfield Park).
Performances in South Africa
Inchbald's version seems to have been the only one performed in South Africa during the 19th century.
