Jael: A Poetic Drama In One Act (1914) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165404551)

Jael: A Poetic Drama In One Act (1914) is a play written by Florence Kiper Frank. The play is based on the biblical story of Jael, a woman who killed the Canaanite general Sisera by driving a tent peg through his head. The play is written in verse and follows the story of Jael as she prepares for Sisera's arrival, lures him into her tent, and ultimately kills him. The play explores themes of power, gender, and morality, as Jael grapples with her decision to take Sisera's life. The play is a unique interpretation of the biblical story, and is an example of the poetic drama genre popular in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
