Lovers Vows (1798) is a captivating play by Elizabeth Inchbald, renowned today for its connection to Jane Austens Mansfield Park (1814). This adaptation of August von Kotzebues Das Kind der Liebe (1780), also known as Child of Love, stands out as the only version performed on stage among several adaptations published between 1798 and 1800. Inchbald, in her Preface, reveals her sensitivity to the challenges of transforming the original German text for an English audience, while maintaining the German setting. First staged at Covent Garden on October 11, 1798, the play became an instant success, running for forty-two nights and establishing itself as the season’s standout production. Its themes of premarital relationships and illegitimacy sparked debate, with critics voicing concerns over its moral implications. Despite this, many defended the play’s exploration of charity, honor, and forgiveness. Notably, Anne Plumptre, who translated Kotzebues work, critiqued Inchbalds portrayal of Amelia, calling her a forward country hoyden, while others praised the plays complex character dynamics.
