The Siege Of Damascus

The Siege of Damascus: A Tragedy is a play written by John Hughes and first performed in 1720. The play is set during the siege of Damascus by the Muslim warrior Tamerlane in the 14th century. The story revolves around the love triangle between the Muslim prince Alcanor, his Christian wife Eudocia, and the Christian knight Theodore. As the siege intensifies, tensions rise between the three characters, leading to a tragic ending. The play explores themes of love, loyalty, and religious conflict, and is considered a prime example of the early 18th-century English tragedy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
