Jephthah's Daughter: A Dramatic Poem is a literary work that was written by George T. Lowth and published in 1874. The book is a poetic retelling of the biblical story of Jephthah and his daughter. Jephthah was a judge of Israel who made a vow to God that if he was victorious in battle, he would sacrifice the first thing that came out of his house. Unfortunately, his daughter was the first to greet him upon his return. The poem explores the themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the consequences of making rash promises. The book is written in a dramatic style, with vivid descriptions and intense emotions. It is a thought-provoking work that offers a unique perspective on a well-known biblical tale.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
