The Martyr: A Tragedy is a play written by Mrs. Erskine Norton and published in 1848. The play is set in Rome during the reign of Emperor Diocletian and tells the story of a young Christian woman named Eudocia who is forced to choose between her faith and her love for a Roman soldier named Valerian. Despite the threats of persecution and death, Eudocia remains steadfast in her beliefs and ultimately chooses to die as a martyr rather than renounce her faith. The play explores themes of religious persecution, love, and sacrifice, and is considered a powerful portrayal of Christian martyrdom. Mrs. Erskine Norton was a British writer and activist who was known for her support of women’s rights and social reform, and The Martyr is one of her most celebrated works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
