The New Pandora: A Drama is a play written by Harriet Jane Hanson Robinson and first published in 1889. The play is set in the late 19th century and revolves around the character of Pandora, who is a young woman struggling to find her place in society. The play explores themes of gender roles, social class, and the limitations placed on women during this time period.Pandora is a strong-willed and independent woman who challenges the traditional expectations placed on women. She rejects the idea of marriage and instead pursues her own interests and passions. However, her choices are met with resistance from those around her, including her father and her suitor, who believe that a woman's place is in the home.As the play unfolds, Pandora's actions have unintended consequences, leading to a tragic ending. Through Pandora's story, Robinson highlights the struggles and limitations faced by women during this time period and questions the societal norms that restrict their freedom and agency.Overall, The New Pandora: A Drama is a thought-provoking play that explores important themes related to gender and society. Robinson's writing is engaging and insightful, making this play a valuable contribution to the literature of the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
