The Tragedy of Sir Thomas Overbury is a play written by Richard Savage and first published in 1724. The play is based on the true story of the murder of Sir Thomas Overbury, a courtier and writer, who died in the Tower of London in 1613. The play tells the story of Overbury's rise to power at court, his friendship with Robert Carr, the Earl of Somerset, and his eventual downfall at the hands of Carr's wife, Frances Howard. The play explores themes of power, corruption, and betrayal, and is considered a classic of Restoration drama. Savage's play is notable for its vivid characters and powerful language, as well as its historical accuracy and attention to detail. The Tragedy of Sir Thomas Overbury is an important work of English literature and a fascinating glimpse into the world of Jacobean court politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
