Book Overview

Queen Mary: Two Old Plays is a book written by Thomas Dekker and published in 1876. It contains two plays, The Whore of Babylon and The Second Maiden's Tragedy, both of which were written during the reign of Queen Mary I of England in the mid-16th century. The Whore of Babylon is a religious play that tells the story of the fall of Babylon and the rise of the Antichrist, while The Second Maiden's Tragedy is a tragic love story about a woman who is forced to marry a man she does not love. Both plays are notable for their use of language and their exploration of themes such as power, corruption, and redemption. This edition of Queen Mary: Two Old Plays includes an introduction by the editor that provides historical context and analysis of the plays.Edited By William John Blew.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
