Book Overview

Sethona: A Tragedy is a play written by Alexander Dow and first published in 1774. The play is set in ancient Persia and tells the story of Sethona, a woman who is torn between her love for her husband, Ormuzd, and her loyalty to her father, the King of Persia. When Ormuzd is accused of treason and sentenced to death, Sethona must make a difficult decision that will ultimately lead to tragedy. The play explores themes of love, loyalty, betrayal, and the consequences of one's actions. Dow's writing style is poetic and dramatic, with vivid descriptions and powerful imagery. Sethona: A Tragedy is a classic example of 18th-century English drama and remains a popular work in the genre.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
