The original text
Based on Samuel Richardson’s novel Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded, Goldoni's play was first performed in Italian in 1750.
Translations and adaptations
The Goldoni text was first translated into English by John Nourse as Pamela, a Comedy, performed and published in a bilingual version in 1756.
A French version of the Goldoni play, entitled Paméla Mariée, ou Le Triomphe des Épouses, was written by Pelletier-Volméranges and Cubières-Palmézaux and first performed in Paris, at the Théâtre de l'Ancien Opéra, in 1804 and published in Paris by Barba in the same year.
The French version by Pelletier-Volméranges and Cubières-Palmézaux was in turn translated into Dutch by an anonymous author as Pamela, of De Zegepraal der Onschuld, and published in Amsterdam by Abraham Mars in 1805.
