		Boucicault smiles too much, we think; he rather overdoes the softness, the amiability, the innocence of his hero; but these exaggerations perhaps only depen the charm of his rendering; for it was his happy thought to devise a figure which should absolutely please.

	§9. Dion Boucicault. VIII. Nineteenth-Century Drama. Vol. 13. The Victorian Age, Part One. The Cambridge History ...
		The writer who gave to melodrama its distinctive formula, and set it upon a path of development which, in time, was to draw it far apart from drama of serious interest, was Dionysius Lardner Bourcicault, better known as Dion Boucicault.
		This is due, in great measure, to the humour and suggestiveness of his dialogue, which often bears a close resemblance to natural speech; and this especially in his famous Irish dramas, such as The Colleen Bawn, Arrah-na-pogue and The Shaughraun.
		Boucicault thus occupies a position at the turning-point between the purely theatrical drama of the first half of the century and the more naturalistic drama which was to put forth a bud while he was at the height of his career as dramatist.
