The Masque Of Comus

The Masque of Comus is a book authored by John Milton, originally published in 1634. This edition, published in 1908, includes incidental music, dances, and other elements that were part of the original performance. The masque tells the story of a young woman named Lady Alice who becomes lost in the woods and is tempted by the evil sorcerer Comus. The book explores themes of temptation, virtue, and the power of music. The incidental music included in this edition was composed by Henry Lawes and adds to the overall experience of the masque. This book provides a glimpse into the world of 17th-century English theater and the use of music and dance to enhance dramatic performances.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
