Judith Of Bethulia

- A Tragedy (1904)

Bag om Judith Of Bethulia

Judith of Bethulia is a tragedy written by Thomas Bailey Aldrich and published in 1904. The play is based on the apocryphal Book of Judith, which tells the story of a Jewish widow who saves her people from the invading Assyrian army. In Aldrich's version, Judith is a strong and independent woman who is determined to protect her city and her people from the brutal Assyrian general, Holofernes. She uses her beauty and cunning to infiltrate Holofernes' camp and gain his trust, ultimately leading to his downfall and the salvation of her people. The play explores themes of courage, faith, and the power of individual action in the face of overwhelming odds. It also delves into the complex relationships between men and women, and the ways in which gender roles can be subverted in times of crisis. Overall, Judith of Bethulia is a compelling and thought-provoking tragedy that offers a fresh perspective on a timeless story of heroism and sacrifice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
