E. de Pradel has <i>improvised<\/i> his four hundred and thirty-seventh tragedy in verse! We shall attend a second recitation; but wish that, for the sake of variety, M. de Pradel would turn his thoughts towards extemporising comedy in <i>prose<\/i>. We hesitate not to express our opinion that, whatever may be the merit of <i>turning out<\/i> a tragedy in this way, the accomplishment of a comedy would be found more difficult. Comedy depends upon subtler principles: it requires a ready wit, and an intimate knowledge of the habits, the foibles, and the eccentricities of society; and affords no opportunity for sounding nothingness, or exaggerated sentiments.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"aei-one-line-down\"><strong>Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"aei-blocktext\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<dl id=\"aei-dl-meta-unimportant\">\n<dt>Collected by:<\/dt>\n<dd> EW<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A performance by Pradel is mentioned, with the note that the author wishes that the improvisatore would attempt to improvise comedy rather than just tragedy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27,134],"tags":[50,104],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/romanticimprov.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2986"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/romanticimprov.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/romanticimprov.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/romanticimprov.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/romanticimprov.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2986"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/romanticimprov.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2986\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3016,"href":"https:\/\/romanticimprov.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2986\/revisions\/3016"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/romanticimprov.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/romanticimprov.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/romanticimprov.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
