Mordred and Hildebrand: A Book of Tragedies

Mordred and Hildebrand: A Book of Tragedies is a collection of two plays written by Canadian poet and playwright William Wilfred Campbell. The book was first published in 1895 and features two tragic tales of love, betrayal, and revenge.The first play, Mordred, tells the story of King Arthur's illegitimate son, Mordred, and his quest for power and revenge against his father. The play explores themes of jealousy, ambition, and the corrupting influence of power, as Mordred schemes to overthrow his father and claim the throne for himself.The second play, Hildebrand, is based on a Germanic legend and tells the story of a warrior named Hildebrand and his son, Hadubrand. The play explores themes of loyalty, honor, and the conflict between generations, as Hildebrand and Hadubrand find themselves on opposite sides of a battle and must confront their own beliefs and loyalties.Campbell's writing is characterized by its poetic language and vivid imagery, and both plays are notable for their exploration of complex moral and psychological themes. Mordred and Hildebrand: A Book of Tragedies remains a classic of Canadian literature and a powerful exploration of the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
