The South-Sea Sisters: A Lyric Masque Explained
The South-Sea Sisters: A Lyric Masque is a 1866 Australian stage play written by Richard Henry Horne.[2] It was written for the 1866 Melbourne Exhibition.[3] [4]
It was well received.[5]
The production was revived the following year.[6]
According to one review "we have presented to us a faithful picture of that chaotic condition of society extending from the period of the gold discovery up to the present time; while the construction of the poem itself partakes of that self-same condition. It is a poem made up of many short ones, so to speak, which differ from each other in measure, sentiment, and imagery."[7]
