Ethelstan: Or The Battle Of Brunanburh is a dramatic chronicle written in five acts by George Darley and published in 1841. The play is set in the 10th century and tells the story of the Battle of Brunanburh, a historic battle fought between the forces of King Athelstan of England and an alliance of Norse and Scottish armies. The play is centered around the character of Ethelstan, the king’s nephew, who is torn between his loyalty to his uncle and his love for a Scottish princess. The play explores themes of love, loyalty, and the consequences of war. Darley’s poetic language and vivid descriptions bring the historical events to life on the stage. Overall, Ethelstan: Or The Battle Of Brunanburh is a compelling drama that offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in English history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
