King Rene's Daughter is a lyrical drama written by the Danish author Henrik Hertz and first published in 1850. The play is set in medieval Provence and tells the story of Iolanthe, the blind daughter of King Rene. Despite her blindness, Iolanthe is a gifted musician and singer, and her father hopes to use her talents to unite the warring factions of his kingdom. However, when Iolanthe falls in love with a knight named Robert, her father is opposed to their union due to Robert's lowly birth. The play explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the power of art and music to transcend social barriers. It is written in verse and features a range of musical interludes, making it a unique and engaging work of literature. King Rene's Daughter is considered a classic of Danish literature and has been adapted into various operas and musicals over the years.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
