Book Description
The Death of Pompey (La Mort de Pompée) is a tragedy by the French playwright Pierre Corneille on the death of Pompey the Great. It was first performed in 1642, with the role of Julius Caesar played by Molière. Born in London on or about 1 January 1631/2, Katherine Philips attended a boarding school where she developed an appreciation of French literature. In 1662 in Dublin, where she had gone in connection with her husband's claim to certain Irish estates, she completed her translation of Corneille's Pompée. To the play she added songs to be performed after each act. It was produced with success at the Smock Alley Theatre in Dublin in 1663, and was printed that year in both Dublin and London. Her translation is considered the first English play written by a woman to be performed on the professional stage. This edition is based on the text published in 1663. The editor has changed some spelling and punctuation to conform with modern usage, but has retained the unusual capitalization of many words.

Book Description
Description: manuscript copy of "Pompey, a tragedy", a translation by Katherine Philips of La Mort de Pompée by Corneille, with songs by the translator (ff36-39), a prologue by Wentworth Dillon, Earl of Roscommon, and an epilogue by Sir Edward Dering. This copy is complete and includes autograph corrections by Philips. Her version was staged in Dublin in 1663 when a printed edition appeared. Textual differences indicate that this cannot be derived from the subsequent London editions of 1663 and 1667. (PsK575).
