Vondel's Lucifer

By F

"F." desires to be informed whether the tragedy or dramatic poem *Lucifer*, of the Dutch poet Vondel, which has been said to bear some analogy to *Paradise Lost*, has ever been translated? and if not, why not? The French writer, Alfred de Vigny, in *Stella*, calls Vondel (Wundel in his spelling) "ce vieux Shakspeare de la Hollande."
