Book Overview

Luceria: A Tragedy is a play written by Hugh Stuart Boyd and first published in 1806. The play is set in ancient Rome and follows the story of Luceria, a young woman who is forced to marry a man she does not love. As the play unfolds, Luceria's life becomes increasingly tragic as she is caught between her duty to her family and her desire for freedom and love.
