Book Overview

""Edury and Elgiva: A Tragedy"" is a play written by Thomas Tilston and published in 1865. The story is set in medieval England and revolves around the tragic love affair between Edury, a nobleman, and Elgiva, a beautiful and virtuous young woman.

The play is written in five acts and features a cast of memorable characters, including the scheming Lady Edith, the wise and loyal Earl of Mercia, and the conflicted King Ethelred.
