by Richard Lalor Sheil (Author)
The Apostate: A Tragedy In Five Acts is a play written by Richard Lalor Sheil and first published in 1817. The play tells the story of a young man named Julian, who is torn between his loyalty to his Catholic faith and his love for a Protestant woman named Isabella. As he struggles to reconcile these conflicting beliefs, Julian ultimately decides to renounce his Catholicism and convert to Protestantism, causing a rift between himself and his family and community. The play explores themes of religious conflict, love, and loyalty, and is considered a classic example of 19th-century Irish drama. With its complex characters, intricate plot, and powerful emotional themes, The Apostate is a compelling work of literature that continues to be studied and performed today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
