Tragedy of Mariam, the Fair Queen of Jewry by Cary, Elizabeth; Hodgson-Wright

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal shelf wear; "First play in English to be authored by a woman. The play, which Cary based on the story of Herod and Miriam, turns on a rumour of Herod's death and unfolds around the actions taken by the patriarch's family and servants in his absence. Part critique of male power, the play sets gender politics in sharp relief against a background of dynastic conflict and Roman imperialism.
