Guy Domville
''Guy Domville'' is a play by Henry James first staged in London in 1895. The première performance ended with the author being jeered by a section of the audience as he bowed onstage at the end of the play. This failure largely marked the end of James's attempt to conquer the theatre. He returned to his narrative fiction and recorded this memorable pledge in his ''Notebooks'' on 23 January 1895: "I take up my own old pen again – the pen of all my old unforgettable efforts and sacred struggles. To myself – today – I need say no more. Large and full and high the future still opens. It is now indeed that I may do the work of my life. And I will." Plot summary The play is set in 1780s England.
