Abstract

en_US
This is a 20-page large-format pamphlet that photographically reproduces a 13-page script of Tom Taylor's 1900 play from a copy in the Library of the University of Toronto. Despite the 1900 date given in the title by Kessinger, the date of first performance seems to be February 19, 1857. The time of the play's action is 1685, and the place is Taunton. Jasper Carew, presumed dead after battle in support of the Whig Monmouth against the ruling Tory King James, is being hidden in his home by his wife, Anne. In the meantime, the harsh leader of some Tory troops, Kirke's Lambs, Colonel Percy Kirke, is wooing Anne. I read it all the way through. It is wonderfully heart-wrenching stuff. For the explication of the Aesopic reference, look to the last few lines.
