The play tells the story of a young woman named Pandora, who is sent to live with her wealthy aunt and uncle in New York City after her parents' death. Pandora is a free-spirited and independent woman who clashes with her conservative relatives and their rigid social norms.As Pandora navigates her new life in the city, she becomes involved in a love triangle with two men: the wealthy and sophisticated Mr. Van Buren and the passionate and artistic Mr. Howard. Pandora must choose between the security and status that Mr. Van Buren can offer her or the love and creativity that Mr. Howard represents.Throughout the play, Robinson explores themes of gender roles, social class, and the tension between tradition and modernity. The New Pandora: A Drama is a compelling and thought-provoking work that offers a glimpse into the social and cultural landscape of late 19th-century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
