The True Tragedy of Rienzi: Tribune of Rome is a historical play written by John Todhunter in 1881. The play is based on the life of Cola di Rienzi, a 14th-century Italian politician who became the leader of Rome and attempted to restore the city to its former glory. The play follows Rienzi's rise to power and his eventual downfall, as he becomes more and more tyrannical in his rule. The play explores themes of power, corruption, and the dangers of unchecked ambition. Todhunter's play is notable for its historical accuracy and its use of contemporary sources to create a vivid portrayal of 14th-century Rome. The play also features strong characterizations of Rienzi and the other historical figures involved in the story, making it a compelling drama. Overall, The True Tragedy of Rienzi: Tribune of Rome is a fascinating historical play that offers insight into the politics and power struggles of Renaissance Italy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
