Savonarola: A Tragedy is a play written by Alfred Austin and published in 1891. The play is based on the life of Girolamo Savonarola, an Italian Dominican friar and preacher who lived in the late 15th century. Savonarola was known for his religious and political reforms in Florence, which led to his eventual downfall and execution. The play follows Savonarola's rise to power and his clashes with the ruling Medici family and the Catholic Church. It also explores his relationship with his followers and his inner struggles with his faith and conscience. Austin's play is a character study of Savonarola, portraying him as a complex and conflicted figure who is both admirable and flawed. The play also touches on themes of power, corruption, and the role of religion in society. Overall, Savonarola: A Tragedy is a thought-provoking work that offers a nuanced portrayal of a controversial historical figure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
