The Tragedy of Gorboduc, written by Thomas Norton in 1565, is a play that tells the story of the downfall of King Gorboduc and his kingdom. The play is considered to be the first English tragedy and is written in blank verse. The plot revolves around the conflict between Gorboduc's two sons, Ferrex and Porrex, over who will inherit the throne. This conflict leads to a civil war that ultimately results in the deaths of both brothers and the destruction of the kingdom. The play explores themes of power, ambition, and the consequences of political instability. The Tragedy of Gorboduc is an important work in the history of English literature and is still studied and performed today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
