Book Overview
The Royal Convert: A Tragedy is a play written by Nicholas Rowe in 1714. The play revolves around the story of a young princess named Matilda, who falls in love with a Christian knight named Ormsby. Matilda's father, the King, disapproves of the relationship and orders Matilda to marry a Muslim prince instead. Matilda, torn between her love for Ormsby and her duty to her father, ultimately converts to Christianity and elopes with Ormsby. However, their happiness is short-lived as they are eventually captured and sentenced to death. The play explores themes of love, duty, and religious conflict. It is considered one of Rowe's most successful plays and is noted for its poetic language and dramatic intensity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
