Publisher's Synopsis
Sacred and Profane Love is a play in four acts written by Arnold Bennett in 1919. The play is based on Bennett's novel of the same name and explores the themes of love, morality, and the clash between the sacred and the profane. The story follows the lives of two brothers, Edwin and Osmond Orgreave, and their relationships with two women, Hilda Lessways and Janet Orgreave. Edwin is a successful architect who is engaged to Hilda, while Osmond is a struggling artist who is in love with Janet. As the story unfolds, the characters are forced to confront their own beliefs and desires, and must make difficult choices about their relationships and their futures. The play is a powerful exploration of human nature and the complexities of love, and is considered one of Bennett's most important works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
