Douglas: A Tragedy, by John Home, is a classic work of 18th-century Scottish drama. First performed in Edinburgh in 1756, it tells a tragic tale of love, loss, and mistaken identity within a noble Scottish family. This edition presents the play as it was acted in the theatres of Great Britain and Ireland, offering insight into the theatrical traditions of the time.
Home's dramatic skill and poetic language made Douglas an immediate sensation, though also a subject of intense controversy. Though sometimes stilted by modern standards, its powerful themes and dramatic situations continue to resonate, making it a valuable resource for students and enthusiasts of dramatic literature and Scottish history. This edition allows readers to experience the power and pathos that captivated audiences centuries ago.
