Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of the early 17th century, this edition of a previously overlooked play delves into themes of love, jealousy, and female sovereignty. The heroine, a queen in her own right, resonates with historical figures like Katherine of Aragon and Elizabeth I. The narrative intertwines personal and political struggles, reflecting on the tumultuous period following Charles I's execution. With a misogynist hero and a subplot examining the complexities of love and sex, this edition presents the play in modern spelling, accompanied by insightful commentary and a thorough introduction.
