Absalom: A Chronicle Play In Three Acts is a dramatic work written by Thomas Sturge Moore in 1903. The play is based on the biblical story of Absalom, the son of King David who rebels against his father and attempts to take the throne. The play is divided into three acts, with each act depicting a different stage in Absalom's rebellion. Act one sets the stage for Absalom's plot, as he begins to gather support from the people of Israel and plot against his father. Act two focuses on the actual rebellion, as Absalom leads his army against David's forces. The final act deals with the aftermath of the rebellion, including Absalom's death and David's grief.Throughout the play, Moore explores themes of power, loyalty, and betrayal. He also delves into the psychology of Absalom, portraying him as a complex character torn between his love for his father and his desire for power. Overall, Absalom: A Chronicle Play In Three Acts is a thought-provoking and well-crafted work of drama that offers a unique perspective on a classic biblical story.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
