The Virgin Widow

The Virgin Widow is a play written by Henry Taylor and first published in 1850. The play is set in 16th-century England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I and tells the story of a young widow, Lady Margaret, who is forced to choose between her duty to her late husband and her love for Sir Thomas Clifford, a man who is considered an enemy of the state. As Lady Margaret struggles to navigate the dangerous political climate of the time, she finds herself torn between her loyalty to her country and her desire for personal happiness. The play explores themes of love, duty, loyalty, and sacrifice, and offers a vivid portrayal of the Elizabethan court and the complex relationships that existed within it. With its richly drawn characters and evocative historical setting, The Virgin Widow remains a compelling and thought-provoking work of drama.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
