Omschrijving

Leah, The Forsaken: A Play, In Five Acts (1890) is a dramatic work written by Augustin Daly. The play follows the story of Leah, a young Jewish woman who falls in love with a Christian man named Arthur Wardlaw. Despite the objections of her family and community, Leah and Arthur marry in secret. However, their happiness is short-lived as Arthur's father disowns him for marrying a Jewish woman, and Arthur dies shortly after from an illness.Leah is left alone and pregnant, with no support from her family or community. She is forced to leave her home and wander the streets, begging for food and shelter. Eventually, she gives birth to a son, who is taken away from her by a wealthy family. Leah becomes a recluse, living in poverty and isolation for years.The play explores themes of love, prejudice, and societal expectations. It also highlights the struggles of women in a patriarchal society and the challenges faced by those who are marginalized and rejected by their communities.Leah, The Forsaken: A Play, In Five Acts is a powerful and emotional work that continues to be performed and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
