(Literally "The child of love") A German play in five acts by August von Kotzebue.
Contents
The original text
Possibly one of his earliest plays, written in 1780. Made quite famous through an English translation by Elizabeth Inchbald, which features in Jane Austen's novel Mansfield Park.
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).
Performances in South Africa
Inchbald's version seems to have been the only one performed in South Africa during the 19th century.
