Beskrivelse af Elfrida, A Dramatic Poem
Elfrida is a dramatic poem written by William Mason in 1752. The poem is modeled after ancient Greek tragedy and tells the story of Elfrida, a Saxon queen who falls in love with the warrior Athelwold. However, Athelwold is already betrothed to Elfrida's friend and lady-in-waiting, Edith. Elfrida is consumed by her passion for Athelwold and convinces him to elope with her. The two are eventually caught and punished for their disobedience. The poem explores themes of love, betrayal, and the consequences of one's actions. Mason's use of classical tragedy elements, such as the chorus and the use of fate, adds depth and complexity to the story. Overall, Elfrida is a compelling and thought-provoking work of literature that draws inspiration from ancient Greek drama.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
