Lover's Vows by Elizabeth Inchbald

Lovers’ Vows, a play by Elizabeth Inchbald arguably best known now for having been featured in Jane Austen’s novel Mansfield Park, is one of at least four adaptations of August von Kotzebue’s Das Kind der Liebe (literally “Child of Love,” or “Natural Son,” as it is often translated). Inchbald’s version is the only one to have been performed. Dealing as it does with sex outside marriage and illegitimate birth, Inchbald in the Preface to the published version declares herself to have been highly sensitive to the task of adapting the original German text for “an English audience.” Even so, she left the setting as Germany.
