The Heptalogia

The Heptalogia is a collection of seven plays written by Algernon Charles Swinburne, a prominent English poet and playwright of the Victorian era. The plays are written in verse and explore themes of love, betrayal, and redemption. The collection includes Atalanta in Calydon, Chastelard, Bothwell, Mary Stuart, Marino Faliero, Locrine, and Rosamund, Queen of the Lombards. Each play is set in a different historical period and features a cast of complex characters, including historical figures such as Mary, Queen of Scots and Marino Faliero, the Doge of Venice. The Heptalogia is considered one of Swinburne's most significant works and is praised for its poetic language and dramatic intensity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
