The Mourning Bride is a tragedy written by William Congreve in 1703. The play is set in an imaginary kingdom and tells the story of Almeria, a princess who has just lost her father, the king. She is betrothed to the prince, but secretly loves another man, the warrior Zara. Meanwhile, the prince is in love with Leonora, Almeria’s confidante. The play explores themes of love, betrayal, and revenge as the characters navigate their complicated relationships and the political turmoil of the kingdom. The play is known for its poetic language and complex characters, and is considered one of Congreve’s masterpieces.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
