The Patrician's Daughter is a tragic play written by John Westland Marston and first published in 1841. The story centers around the character of Isidora, the daughter of a wealthy patrician who is forced to choose between her duty to her family and her love for a commoner. Isidora's father, Senator Torrington, has arranged for her to marry the wealthy and powerful Lord St. Aubyn, despite her objections. However, Isidora has fallen in love with a young man named Edgar, who is of lower social status. As Isidora struggles to reconcile her love for Edgar with her duty to her family, she must also contend with the manipulations of Lord St. Aubyn, who will stop at nothing to secure Isidora's hand in marriage. The play is divided into five acts and explores themes of love, duty, and class conflict. It is a poignant and tragic tale that delves into the complexities of human relationships and the consequences of societal expectations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
