Omschrijving

The Vespers of Palermo is a tragic play written by Felicia Dorothea Browne Hemans and published in 1823. The play is set in Palermo, Italy, during the 13th century and is based on the historical events of the Sicilian Vespers. The plot revolves around the conflict between the French and Sicilian people, who are at odds due to the French occupation of Sicily. The play opens with a group of Sicilian rebels planning to overthrow the French rulers. The main character, Beatrice, is torn between her love for a French soldier, Count di Procida, and her loyalty to her Sicilian heritage. As the play progresses, tensions rise between the French and Sicilian factions, leading to a violent uprising known as the Sicilian Vespers. The conflict ultimately results in the deaths of many characters, including Beatrice and Count di Procida. The Vespers of Palermo is a powerful portrayal of love, loyalty, and the struggle for freedom. Hemans' use of vivid imagery and poetic language creates a dramatic and emotional atmosphere that captures the essence of the historical events. Overall, this play is a compelling work of literature that explores the complexities of human nature and the consequences of political oppression.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
