Edury and Elgiva: A Tragedy is a play written by Thomas Tilston in 1865. The story is set in the 10th century and revolves around the tragic love story of Edury and Elgiva. Edury, a nobleman, falls in love with Elgiva, the daughter of a powerful king. However, their love is forbidden due to their different social statuses. Despite this, they continue to meet in secret, but their love is eventually discovered by the king. The king orders Edury to be executed, and Elgiva is forced to marry another man. The play explores themes of love, power, and societal expectations. It is written in blank verse and features a cast of noble characters, including kings, queens, and knights. The play was well-received at the time of its publication and is still considered a classic tragedy in English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
