The Count of Narbonne - A Tragedy, in Five Acts

"The Count of Narbonne: A Tragedy, in Five Acts" by Robert Jephson is based on The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole. In this gothic drama, ominous death and foreboding plague a noble family. The lover of romances, whose happy memory, unclouded by more weighty recollections, has retained a resemblance of plot and incidents, the acknowledged effect of close imitation to its original inspiration, with a darker and grimmer note.
