A Drama In Five Acts (1897)

Beschreibung

The Mingled Yarn is a dramatic play written by Robert Blatchford and published in 1897. The play is divided into five acts and explores themes of love, betrayal, and redemption. The story is set in England during the Victorian era and follows the lives of two families, the Wintons and the Stricklands. The Wintons are a wealthy family, while the Stricklands are struggling to make ends meet. The play begins with the marriage of two young lovers, Cyril Winton and Edith Strickland, against the wishes of their families. However, the marriage is short-lived as Cyril is accused of embezzlement and is sent to prison. Edith is left alone to raise their child, and the two families are torn apart. The play then follows the lives of the characters as they struggle to come to terms with the consequences of their actions. The Mingled Yarn is a poignant and emotional play that explores the complexities of human relationships and the consequences of our choices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

In the United Kingdom, Robert Peel Glanville Blatchford was an English socialist activist, writer, and journalist. He was also well-known for being a patriot, an atheist, and a critic of eugenics. Following the passing of his wife in the early 1920s, he became spiritual. In Maidstone, Kent, on March 17, 1851, Blatchford was born. His parents named him after the Conservative Prime Minister Robert Peel, who passed away the previous year: Georgina Louisa Corri (maiden; 1821-1890), an actress, and strolling comedian John Glanville Blatchford. Via his mother, Domenico Corri (1746-1825), he was related to his great-grandfather, an Italian publisher and musician who relocated to Edinburgh to teach music in the late 1700s from Rome. Christine Glanville (1924-1999), an English puppeteer, was one of his grandnieces. Blatchford was raised by his mother when his father passed away in 1853. Blatchford spent a large portion of his early years near the theater, and she pursued her performing career for nine more years. Blatchford and his brother Montagu would act with their mother, earning extra money by executing comedic renditions and dances, in order to support the family. The family relocated to Halifax in 1862 in the hopes that Blatchford and his brother would be able to pursue trade education. At first, Blatchford worked as an odd job kid in a lithographic printing plant, receiving eighteen pence per week in pay. He went to school sporadically as a child, first in Halifax and then in Portsmouth.
