The Tragedy Of Jane Shore: Written In Imitation Of Shakespeare's Style (1736) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165653898)

The Tragedy of Jane Shore is a play written in 1736 by Nicholas Rowe, which is written in the style of William Shakespeare. The play tells the story of Jane Shore, a mistress of King Edward IV of England, who is later abandoned by him and left to suffer the consequences of her actions. The play explores themes of love, betrayal, and redemption, as Jane tries to navigate her way through the political intrigue of the court and the social expectations of the time. Rowe's writing is characterized by its poetic language and use of dramatic devices, such as soliloquies and asides, which are reminiscent of Shakespeare's own plays. The Tragedy of Jane Shore is a classic example of 18th-century English drama and a testament to the enduring influence of Shakespeare on the literary tradition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
