Foscari: A Tragedy is a play written by Mary Russell Mitford and published in 1826. The play is set in Venice during the 15th century and revolves around the story of Francesco Foscari, the Doge of Venice, and his son Jacopo. The play explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the struggle for power within a political system. Francesco is torn between his duty as a leader of Venice and his love for his son, who has been accused of murder and treason. The play follows the tragic fate of Jacopo, who is ultimately exiled from Venice and dies in prison. Foscari: A Tragedy is considered one of Mitford’s most successful works, praised for its vivid portrayal of Venetian society and its exploration of complex human emotions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
