Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of Elisabeth Lady Falkland: 1585-1639 The great attraction of works of fiction consists in the fact that they more or less present to their readers a description of trials, struggles, and emotions which they themselves have experienced. When a biography, without transgressing the limits of strict veracity, fulfils the same conditions, it appeals with far greater power to the heart and mind. Thus Lady Falkland's life can hardly fail to interest the very numerous persons who are going through in our day, hardships resembling those she underwent more than two hundred years ago. A different state of society, and the modern absence of penal restrictions as to religion no doubt modify these trials, but their nature remains the same, and many a wife and mother will find in the history of this convert of the seventeenth century, a resemblance with her own. May this record of her sufferings, and of her invincible perseverance take its place among those "footsteps in the sands of time," the sight of which refreshers the wayfarer on his road, long after the pilgrim of other days has entered eternal rest!

The Tragedy of Mariam, the Fair Queen of Jewry
Author: Elizabeth Cary
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520912984
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
The Tragedy of Mariam (1613) is the first original play by a woman to be published in England, and its author is the first English woman writer to be memorialized in a biography, which is included with this edition of the play. Mariam is a distinctive example of Renaissance drama that serves the desire of today's readers and scholars to know not merely how women were represented in the early modern period but also how they themselves perceived their own condition. With this textually emended and fully annotated edition, the play will now be accessible to all readers. The accompanying biography of Cary further enriches our knowledge of both domestic and religious conflicts in the seventeenth century.
