Description
The Secretary: A Play, In Five Acts is a dramatic work written by James Sheridan Knowles in 1843. The play centers around the character of Martin Heywood, a young man who is appointed as the private secretary to the Duke of Middlesex. Heywood is ambitious and eager to succeed in his new position, but he soon finds himself caught up in a web of political intrigue and personal drama.As Heywood navigates the complex world of court politics, he becomes embroiled in a love triangle with the Duke's daughter, Lady Julia, and her suitor, Lord Tinsel. Meanwhile, the Duke's scheming advisor, Sir Edward Mortimer, plots to undermine Heywood and advance his own interests.Throughout the play, Knowles explores themes of power, ambition, and loyalty. He also delves into the complex relationships between men and women, and the challenges that arise when personal desires clash with political obligations.With its intricate plot, well-drawn characters, and sharp dialogue, The Secretary: A Play, In Five Acts is a compelling work of drama that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century British politics and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
