The Tragedy of Jane Shore is a play written in 1736 by Nicholas Rowe, which tells the story of the titular character, a mistress of King Edward IV of England. The play is written in the style of Shakespeare and follows the conventions of a tragedy, with Jane's downfall being brought about by her own actions and the actions of those around her.The play begins with Jane as a young woman, married to a wealthy merchant named William Shore. She is unhappy in her marriage and begins an affair with the king, who promises to make her his queen. However, when Edward dies, his brother Richard III takes the throne and Jane is left without the protection of the king.Jane's downfall is brought about by her own pride and ambition, as well as the jealousy and betrayal of those around her. She is eventually arrested and sentenced to walk through the streets of London in penance, where she is shunned by the people she once knew.The Tragedy of Jane Shore is a powerful exploration of the themes of love, ambition, and betrayal, and is considered one of the best examples of the genre of Restoration tragedy. Rowe's skillful imitation of Shakespeare's style and use of poetic language make this play 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.
