The Indian Princess (play)
''The Indian Princess; or, La Belle Sauvage'', is a musical play with a libretto by James Nelson Barker and music by John Bray, based on the Pocahontas story as originally recorded in John Smith's '' The Generall Historie of Virginia'' (1621).

Her tribe wins the war, but her father loses trust in the white settlers; Pocahontas warns the settlers who reconcile with Powhatan. Several comic romances end happily, and Smith predicts a great future for the new country. The play deals with relations between Native Americans and the first European settlers in America. Scholars have debated whether the piece is progressive in its depiction of the native ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
