The Prince of Parthia is written to be a Neo-Classical tragedy. It mostly follows the unities of time (happens in a short amount of time, usually 24 hours), place (happens in one place) and plot (one or few plot lines). It also has a five-act structure, and most of the characters follow decorum. However, with verisimilitude (or, the appearance of truth), the play is lacking. The idea that the entire plot line could happen within 24 to 48 hours is astonishing. [mehr]

The Woods Were As The Indians Had Left Them, But The Boys Who Were Playing There Did Not Realize, Until Many Years Afterwards, That They Had Moved In As The Indians Moved Out. Perhaps, If These Boys Had Known That They Were The First White Boys To Use The Indians' Playgrounds, The Realization Might Have Added Zest To The Make-Believe Of Their Games; But Probably Boys Between Seven And Fourteen, When They Play At All, Play With Their Fancies Strained, And Very Likely These Little Boys, Keeping Their Stick-Horse Livery-Stable In A Wild-Grape Arbour In The Thicket, Needed No Verisimilitude. The Long Straight Hickory Switches--Which Served As Horses--Were Arranged With Their Butts On A Rotting Log, Whereon Some Grass Was Spread For Their Feed. [mehr]

Amongst all the trials for witchcraft with which we are acquainted, few have attained so great a celebrity as that of the Lady Canoness of Pomerania, Sidonia von Bork. She was accused of having by her sorceries caused sterility in many families, particularly in that of the ancient reigning house of Pomerania, and also of having destroyed the noblest scions of that house by an early and premature death. Notwithstanding the intercessions and entreaties of the Prince of Brandenburg and Saxony. "Meinhold's great strength is his air of casual and realistic verisimilitude, which intensifies our suspense and sense of the unseen by half persuading us that the menacing events must somehow be either the truth or very close to the truth." -- H.P. Lovecraft, Supernatural Horror in Literature [mehr]

Inish’s poetry mines electric articulations out of the discontinuity that written language inevitably subjects us to, and the affective misdirection it can generate by requiring us to reconstitute a disembodied subjectivity. There is a higher realism in Inish’s deeply material engagement with language, in its enactment of the uncertainties, de- and re-contextualizations, disappearances, and strange adjacencies endemic to writing. This all seems poetry conceptualism, with its faithfulness to the state of textualized bewilderment in which we spend increasing amounts of our time. And while it makes little threat of becoming too standard a model for verisimilitude, it is, in its austerely zany realism, both a faithful document of textual experience and a joy. [mehr]
