The original text
Apparently based on La Pamela by Goldoni, a serious drama in its turn based on Samuel Richardson’s novel. Goldoni's play was first performed in Italian in 1750, and translated into English as Pamela, a Comedy, performed in 1756. The French adaptation was first performed in Paris, at the Théâtre de l'Ancien Opéra, in 1804 and in Paris by Barba in the same year.
Translations and adaptations
Translated into Dutch by an anonymous author as Pamela, of De Zegepraal der Onschuld, and published in Amsterdam by Abraham Mars in 1805.
