Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Eudocia: A Comedy Royal
History is but a reverberation and the forces that brought down the Byzantines similarly combined against all earlier civilisations and will resolve all later. We have seen them operating in this our time, raising new kingdoms and destroying old, through the dynamic genius of an irrational humanity that changes not. Only reason can secure and endure stability; but reason has yet to find her place in the sun of man's favour; no kings or peoples bring gold and frankincense to that cradle. The comedy is not, therefore, archaic; but read in the light of to-day, alive - at least in spirit.
