Publisher's Synopsis
Queen Mariamne is a historical novel written by Michael Field and first published in 1908. The book is set in ancient Jerusalem during the reign of King Herod the Great and tells the story of Mariamne, a Jewish princess who becomes Herod's wife. Mariamne is a strong and intelligent woman who struggles to navigate the complex political landscape of the time, while also dealing with the personal challenges of her marriage to a man she does not love. The novel explores themes of love, power, and betrayal, as well as the clash of cultures between the Jews and the Romans. Field's writing is rich and evocative, bringing to life the sights, sounds, and smells of ancient Jerusalem. Queen Mariamne is a gripping tale of one woman's fight for survival in a world dominated by men, and a vivid portrayal of a fascinating period in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
