Elfrida, A Dramatic Poem: Written On The Model Of The Ancient Greek Tragedy (1752)
Elfrida is a dramatic poem written by William Mason in 1752. It is written in the style of ancient Greek tragedy and tells the story of Elfrida, a Saxon princess who becomes queen of England after the death of her husband, King Edgar. However, her reign is short-lived as she is eventually overthrown by her stepson, Ethelwold, who has fallen in love with her. The play explores themes of power, love, and betrayal, and features a cast of characters including Elfrida, Ethelwold, Edgar, and Dunstan, the Archbishop of Canterbury. Mason's use of poetic language and dramatic tension creates a compelling and emotional story that draws on the traditions of Greek tragedy while also reflecting the concerns of 18th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
