Strafford: A Tragedy is a play written by John Sterling and first published in 1843. The play is set in England during the 17th century and centers around the historical figure of Thomas Wentworth, the Earl of Strafford, who was a prominent politician and adviser to King Charles I. The play explores the downfall of Strafford, who was accused of treason and ultimately executed. The play is divided into five acts and features a large cast of characters, including King Charles I, Queen Henrietta Maria, and various other political figures and advisors. The plot revolves around Strafford’s attempts to maintain his power and influence despite growing opposition from his political rivals and the public. The play also explores the strained relationship between Strafford and King Charles, as well as the political and social tensions of the time.Sterling’s writing style is characterized by its poetic language and use of dramatic imagery. The play is considered a classic example of Victorian-era drama and has been praised for its exploration of complex political and social issues. It has been adapted for the stage and screen numerous times, and remains a popular and influential work of literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
