A landmark of Dutch Golden Age drama, this classic tragedy presents a grand conflict shaped by obedience, pride, revolt, and divine order. First performed in 1654, the play stands among the major works of seventeenth-century European literature and remains a defining achievement of Dutch letters.
Written with the scale and intensity of sacred history, the drama explores the moral and spiritual consequences of rebellion against heaven. Its elevated language, formal structure, and theological gravity give the work lasting power for readers interested in classic drama, religious literature, and the literary culture of the early modern Netherlands.
This edition offers access to a foundational work by the leading Dutch poet and playwright of the seventeenth century, suited for students, scholars, and readers of world literature.
