Virginia: A Tragedy is a play written by Samuel Crisp in 1754. The story revolves around the character of Virginia, a young woman who is forced to choose between her love for the nobleman, Cassius, and her duty to marry the wealthy but unscrupulous Appius. As the plot unfolds, Virginia is faced with a series of difficult decisions that ultimately lead to tragedy. The play explores themes of love, duty, honor, and power, and is set against the backdrop of ancient Rome. It is a classic example of 18th-century tragedy, with its emphasis on moral dilemmas and the consequences of human actions. The play was well-received in its time and remains an important work in the history of 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.
