The Stepmother: A Tragedy is a play written by Frederick Howard Carlisle in the year 1800. The story revolves around a young woman named Eudora who marries a wealthy nobleman, Lord Belmour, and becomes the stepmother to his two children, Matilda and Henry. Eudora is initially welcomed into the family, but as time goes on, she becomes jealous of Matilda's beauty and popularity and begins to mistreat her. Eudora's cruelty towards Matilda escalates to the point where she plots to have her stepdaughter killed. The play explores themes of jealousy, betrayal, and the consequences of one's actions. The Stepmother: A Tragedy was well-received during its time and is considered a classic example of 18th-century English drama.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
