  <dc:title>Letter from William Martin Trinder to William Porden, sending him parts of his revised version of Shakespeare's Timon of Athens, revised as "fit for a polite stage"</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Sending him parts of his version of Shakespeare's Timon of Athens, revised as "fit for a polite stage" for his consideration and for it to be introduced to Mr Kemble; he sends the 1st Act and part of the 5th, altering Timon to die an idiot rather than a misanthrope, suitable for the acting style of a Mr Taylor,a  comedian in London; he has thrown out all obscenities and vulgarisms and the characters of Phrynia and Tinandra [prostitutes]; he hopes that "these papers" are taken out of the Attic Chest before their presentation to Mr Kemble, taken out by the "dear Thalia of Berners Street" [Eleanor Porden]</dc:description>
