by Elizabeth Inchbald. A very successful play in its time, it is arguably best known now for having been featured in Jane Austen's novel Mansfield Park (1814), is one of at least four adaptations of August von Kotzebue's Das Kind der Liebe (1780; literally "Child of Love," or "Natural Son," as it is often translated), all of which were published between 1798 and 1800, though Inchbald's version seems to have been the only one performed.
It was first performed at Covent Garden on Thursday, 11 October 1798.
