Paméla Mariée, ou Le Triomphe des Épouses ("Pamela married, of the triumph of virtue") is a three-act play French by Benoît Pelletier-Volméranges (1756-1824) and Michel de Cubières de Palmézeaux (authors given simply as "Pelletier-Volméranges et Cubières-Palmézaux" in the first edition.)


The original text

Apparently based on La Pamela by Goldoni, a serious drama in its turn based on Samuel Richardson’s novel Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded. Goldoni's play was first performed in Italian in 1750, and translated into English by John Nourse as Pamela, a Comedy, performed in 1756. The French adaptation by Pelletier-Volméranges and Cubières-Palmézaux was first performed in Paris, at the Théâtre de l'Ancien Opéra, in 1804 and in Paris by Barba in the same year.
