Translations and adaptations

Scott's popular novel has been adapted and dramatized a number of times by various authors over the years, appearing under a variety of titles. Among them:

In 1822 followed a four act drama entitled Kenilworth, A Historical Drama by an anonymous dramatist (possibly even Scott himself, who had dabbled in dramatisation before), which was performed in Edinburgh in 1822, and published there by James L. Huie in 1823.

Kenilworth, or The Golden Days of Queen Bess Published in London by Hodgson, 1823 by and for W. Cole 1823.
