To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The traditional account of its origin should not, of course, he held to imply that Enghsh pantomime sprang full-fledged from the head of John Rich (1682 ?- 1 761). Pantomimic action of a sort had long been known on the English stage. The ^dumb-shows' which Hamlet found 'inexplicable' had been intro- duced in Gorboduc, the first English tragedy. Masque, opera, and spectacle had, during the Restoration period, developed to a notable degree scenic and me- chanical effects. Mrs. Behn had introduced... a Harle- quin in her Emperor of the Moon (1687). Yet, in the adaptation to his own purposes of earlier stage proper- ties and devices and in the creation of his own novel- ties, John Rich is fairly entitled to credit for original- ity. Even if one were to accept CoUey Gibber's questionable ascription of the origin of pantomime to John Weaver's Drury Lane production of The XI PANTOMIME AND BALLAD OPERA 185 Loves of Mars and Venus (1716 or 171 7)/ Rich may be said to have formulated the popular type.
