Eccles Bequest. Vols. I, II. 'The Duchess of Padua'; 1882-1883. Autograph. Five act play originally titled 'The Duchess of Florence'. Wilde began writing the play in 1882 and completed it in Paris in 1883. It was written with the intention that it would be produced by and star Mary Anderson. Wilde entered into an agreement with Anderson's manager, Hamilton Griffin, to complete the play by 1 March 1883, and in fact completed it on 15 March. In the end Anderson rejected the play stating that it would not appeal to audiences and that the role was not suitable for her. The play had its premier on Broadway, New York, on 26 January 1891under the title of 'Guido Ferranti'. It was produced by Lawrence Barrett, who also starred in it alongside Minna Gale in the role of the Duchess, which Wilde had originally created for Mary Anderson. The play was withdrawn after twenty-one performances.
Two volumes.
