Athelwold: A Tragedy, In Five Acts is a play written by William Henry Smith and first published in 1842. The play is set in 10th century England and tells the story of Athelwold, a nobleman who is in love with Elgiva, the wife of King Edgar. Athelwold and Elgiva plot to overthrow the king and take the throne for themselves, but their plans are foiled when Edgar discovers their treachery. The play explores themes of love, betrayal, and the corrupting influence of power. Smith's writing style is characterized by its poetic language and vivid imagery, and the play is considered a classic example of Romantic-era drama.
