Bulwer's play at Covent Garden draws sharp critique
A London newspaper review of Bulwer's The Duchess of La Valliere at Covent Garden condemns the drama as flawed in execution and character. It praises Macready and Osbaldiston for supporting the author while criticizing Bulwer's vanity and the piece’s reliance on long speeches with little action. The plot summary notes Bragelone and La Valliere amid court intrigue, infidelity, and remorse, ending with a tragic reflection on royal power and virtue.
