- Résumé : In the preface to "The Mysterious Mother," Horace Walpole expresses his reluctance and discomfort regarding the publication of his own work. Written several years prior, the tragedy was never intended for public consumption. Walpole acknowledges the distasteful nature of the subject matter and admits that the execution does not redeem it. Initially, only a few copies were printed and distributed privately to avoid the hassle of transcription. However, as unauthorized editions began to surface, Walpole felt compelled to release an official version to prevent further degradation of the text. He emphasizes his unwillingness to publish the work and seeks understanding from the public, acknowledging his own regret for choosing such an unpleasant story. Walpole respects the judgment of the public and does not expect their approval, as he himself is critical of the decision to let the manuscript leave his possession. The preface, dated April 29, 1781, serves as a candid admission of the author's internal conflict and the external pressures that led to the play's publication.
