Stansfield: A Tragedy is a play written by Samuel Drake Roberts and published in 1864. The story centers around the character of Stansfield, a young man who is torn between his love for his fianc�����e, Alice, and his duty to his father, who wants him to marry a wealthy woman named Lady Clara. Stansfield's struggle to choose between love and duty ultimately leads to tragedy, as he finds himself caught in a web of deceit, betrayal, and violence.The play is set in England during the 19th century and explores themes of class, duty, and morality. It features a cast of complex and flawed characters, including Stansfield's father, Lady Clara, and Alice, who all have their own motivations and desires.Throughout the play, Roberts uses poetic language and vivid imagery to create a sense of tension and drama, as Stansfield's fate hangs in the balance. The play's tragic ending serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of sacrificing love for duty and the consequences of making the wrong choice.Overall, Stansfield: A Tragedy is a gripping and emotional play that explores timeless themes of love, duty, and the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
