NEW PRINT WITH PROFESSIONAL TYPE-SET IN CONTRAST TO SCANNED PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS The Fair Penitent: A Tragedy This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a fresh and newly reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work.

Autorenporträt
Nicholas Rowe (1674-1718) was a renowned English dramatist, poet, and miscellanist, celebrated for his literary contributions during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Born in Little Barford, Bedfordshire, to a legal family, Rowe was educated at Westminster School and later graduated from the Middle Temple, fostering both literary ambitions and a career in law. Rowe's literary legacy is most notably anchored by his tragic play 'The Fair Penitent' (1703), which secured his reputation for its emotive narrative and masterful depiction of moral complexity within character development. This work, reflecting the heightened sensibilities of the early sentimental movement, is an adaptation of Massinger and Field's 'The Fatal Dowry' and centers around the character of Lothario, a role that has etched an enduring archetype in literary history. His works are characterized by their elevated language and moralistic themes, as they often explore the ramifications of passion and virtue. Beyond playwriting, Rowe also served as Poet Laureate from 1715 until his death and was tasked with translating Lucan's epic, 'Pharsalia,' to critical acclaim. As a significant figure of the Augustan period in English literature, Rowe's contribution to the development of neoclassical drama and poetry is celebrated, with 'The Fair Penitent' remaining a poignant exemplar of his artistic philosophy and literary prowess.
