1923 The Famous Tragedy of the Queen of Cornwall at Tintagel in Lyonesse A New Version of an Old Story Arranged as a Play for Mummers In One Act Requiring no Theatre or Scenery

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

A one-act play by Thomas Hardy, one of the only two pieces of drama written by this author. This play was designed to be performed by amateurs rather than a large scale theatre production ('mummers.') The first edition. 

Thomas Hardy was a very well renowned writer, mostly known for his novels, which are characterised by his realist style and perfect representations of the human condition. Openly critical of Victorian society, he often focused on the situation of those in the rural parts of Britain, in particular the South West. 

Illustrated with frontispiece and full page illustration by author, complete with its unclipped dust wrapper illustrating a facsimile of the author's manuscript title page.
