Loyalties (1920)

By John Drinkwater

Book Overview

Loyalties is a play written by John Drinkwater and first published in 1920. The play is set during World War I and explores the theme of loyalty in the face of conflicting loyalties. The play is divided into three acts, each of which takes place in a different location. The first act is set in an English country house, where a group of friends gather to discuss the war and their various opinions on it. The second act takes place in a German prison camp, where one of the friends is being held captive. The third act takes place back in England, where the friends are reunited and forced to confront the consequences of their actions during the war. Throughout the play, Drinkwater uses the characters' conversations to explore the complexities of loyalty, patriotism, and the human cost of war. The play was well-received when it was first performed and has since become a classic of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
