Description

""The Son of Erin or The Cause of the Greeks"" is a play written by George Burges in 1823. The play is set in Greece during the Greek War of Independence and follows the story of an Irish soldier named Dermot O'Neil who joins the Greek army to fight for their cause. O'Neil falls in love with a Greek woman named Eudocia and together they work to defend their country against the Ottoman Empire. The play is divided into five acts and features themes of love, patriotism, and the struggle for freedom. Burges's work is a testament to the romanticism of the time and to the ideals of the Greek War of Independence, which inspired many writers and artists of the era. Overall, ""The Son of Erin or The Cause of the Greeks"" is a compelling play that offers a glimpse into the political and social climate of the early 19th century, and the aspirations of those who fought for freedom and independence.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
