The Porcupine: A Drama In Three Acts is a play written by Edwin Arlington Robinson. The story revolves around the character of John Thistle, a politician who has recently lost his bid for re-election. Thistle is a man who has always been driven by his ambition and desire for power, but now finds himself at a crossroads in his life. As he struggles to come to terms with his defeat, he is forced to confront the consequences of his actions and the choices he has made. The play is set in a small town in New England and explores themes of power, corruption, and morality. It also delves into the complexities of human relationships and the ways in which our actions can affect those around us. Throughout the play, Thistle interacts with a variety of characters, including his wife, his political rival, and a young journalist who is eager to uncover the truth about his past. Overall, The Porcupine is a thought-provoking and engaging play that offers a nuanced exploration of the human condition. Robinson's writing is both poetic and insightful, and the play remains a relevant commentary on the nature of politics and power in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
