Two Slatterns And A King: A Moral Interlude (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163745281)

""Two Slatterns and a King: A Moral Interlude"" is a play written by Edna St. Vincent Millay. The play is set in medieval times and revolves around two slatterns, or slovenly women, who are visited by a king. The king is seeking shelter for the night, but the slatterns are hesitant to let him stay due to their own disheveled state. However, the king convinces them to let him stay and they engage in a series of conversations about morality, virtue, and the nature of humanity. Through their discussions, the slatterns come to realize the importance of cleanliness and orderliness, while the king learns the value of humility and compassion. The play ultimately delivers a moral message about the importance of treating others with kindness and respect, regardless of their appearance or social status.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
