Bombastes Furioso, subtitled ''A Burlesque Tragic Opera'', was written in 1810 by William Barnes Rhodes (sometimes credited as Thomas Barnes Rhodes). The first authorized printed edition was published in 1822. It is a drama with comic songs, that satirizes the bombastic style of other tragedies that were in fashion at the time. It was very popular throughout the 19th century—its popularity was sufficient for two quotations to appear in ''Bartlett's Familiar Quotations'', and for Lewis Carroll to refer to it in his poem ''Melancholetta''. ==Characters== *Artaxaminous – King of Utopia *Fusbos – Minister of State *Bombastes – general of Artaxaminous *Distaffina – troth-plight of General Bombastes 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bombastes Furioso」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
