[EAN: 9781484839591], Neubuch, [PU: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform, United States], Language: English. Brand new Book. The Duchess of Padua - By Oscar Wilde - Classic Oscar Wilde. The Duchess of Padua is a play by Oscar Wilde: it is a five-act melodramatic tragedy set in Padua and written in blank verse. It was written for the actress Mary Anderson in early 1883 while in Paris. After she turned it down, it was abandoned until its first performance at The Broadway Theatre in New York under the title Guido Ferranti on 26 January 1891, where it ran for three weeks. It is currently rarely revived or studied. Wilde first mentioned the possibility of writing a five-act blank verse tragedy in the Biograph in 1880, originally to be entitled The Duchess of Florence. He had difficulty, however, negotiating with her business manager and stepfather, Hamilton Griffin, whom Wilde referred to privately as "The Griffin" and "a padded horror." On 23 September 1882, all three met in Boston and agreed to open on 22 January 1883. In October, Wilde learnt they had decided to wait until September. Finally, a contract was signed in December - Wilde received 1,000 upfront, and 4,000 if the completed play was accepted by Anderson in March 1883, which she would then produce. This was far less than the 5,000 advance and royalty that Wilde had initially hoped for, describing the deal he got as "starvation wages." Wilde finished the play at the Hotel Voltaire in Paris by 15 March 1883, 14 days after Griffin's deadline. However, Anderson proved hard to communicate with, and provided a definite refusal in April., Books<

Guido [Taking a letter from his pocket and reading it.] 'The hour noon; the city, Padua; the place, the market; and the day, Saint Philip's Day.' Ascanio And what of the man, how shall we know him? Guido [reading still] 'I will wear a violet cloak with a silver falcon broidered on the shoulder.' A brave attire, Ascanio. Ascanio I'd sooner have my leathern jerkin. And you think he will tell you of your father? Guido Why, yes! It is a month ago now, you remember; I was in the vineyard, just at the corner nearest the road, where the goats used to get in, a man rode up and asked me was my name Guido, and gave me this letter, signed 'Your Father's Friend,' bidding me be here today if I would know the secret of my birth, and telling me how to recognise the writer! I had always thought old Pedro was my uncle, but he told me that he was not, but that I had been left a child in his charge by some one he had never since seen.
