Publisher's Synopsis
The Tragedies of Harold and Camoens is a book written by Henry St. George Tucker in 1835. The book is a collection of two plays, both of which are tragedies. The first play, Harold, tells the story of the last Saxon king of England, Harold II, and his defeat at the Battle of Hastings by William the Conqueror. The second play, Camoens, is based on the life of the Portuguese poet Luis de Camoens, who is known for his epic poem, The Lusiads. The play explores Camoens' life, including his time as a soldier and his love for a woman named Catherine. Throughout both plays, Tucker explores themes of love, loss, and tragedy, highlighting the human struggle against fate and the inevitability of death. The Tragedies of Harold and Camoens is a powerful work of literature that showcases Tucker's skill as a playwright and his deep understanding of the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
