Under The Wheels: A Play In Five Acts (1873) is a dramatic work written by Rufus Edmonds Shapley. The play revolves around the life of a young man named Harry, who is struggling to make ends meet in the harsh realities of 19th century America. Harry is forced to work long hours in a factory to support his family, but his dreams of a better life are constantly thwarted by the harshness of his circumstances.As the play unfolds, Harry's life becomes increasingly complicated as he is drawn into a web of deceit and betrayal. He finds himself torn between his loyalty to his family and his desire for a better life. Along the way, he encounters a number of colorful characters, including a scheming factory owner, a corrupt politician, and a group of labor activists who are fighting for workers' rights.Through its powerful portrayal of the struggles of working-class Americans, Under The Wheels offers a compelling commentary on the social and economic conditions of the time. Shapley's vivid descriptions and realistic dialogue bring the characters and their struggles to life, making this play a timeless work of literature that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
