Excerpt from The Humour of Italy
The comedy of the present day has not quite the same disadvantage. The stereotyped characters are done away with, and there is more play of individuality. But it will be noticed that the specimens given consist of one or more whole scenes, sometimes of considerable length there is the same deficiency, or nearly so, of quotable speeches. This, of course, is not a fault from the dramatic point of View; but it is embarrassing for the maker of selections.
