Jephthah’s Daughter: A Dramatic Poem is a literary work written by George T. Lowth and originally published in 1874. The book is a retelling of the biblical story of Jephthah, a judge of Israel, who makes a vow to God that if he is victorious in battle, he will sacrifice the first thing that comes out of his house to greet him upon his return. Tragically, it is his daughter who emerges from the house, and Jephthah is forced to fulfill his vow. Lowth’s version of the story is presented in the form of a dramatic poem, with dialogue and monologues that bring the characters to life. The book explores themes of sacrifice, faith, and the consequences of making rash vows. It also delves into the emotional turmoil experienced by Jephthah and his daughter, as well as the reactions of the other characters in the story. Overall, Jephthah’s Daughter: A Dramatic Poem is a thought-provoking and poignant work of literature that offers a fresh perspective on a well-known biblical tale. It is a must-read for anyone interested in religious or literary studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
