The Earl Of Gowrie: A Tragedy

By James White

The Earl of Gowrie: A Tragedy is a play written by James White and published in 1845. The play is based on the true story of the Gowrie Conspiracy, which occurred in Scotland in 1600. The play follows the Earl of Gowrie, a Scottish nobleman, as he attempts to overthrow King James VI of Scotland. The plot is filled with intrigue, betrayal, and political maneuvering, as Gowrie and his co-conspirators attempt to seize power. Ultimately, the plot fails, and Gowrie is executed for his crimes. The play is a powerful exploration of the nature of power, loyalty, and ambition, and is considered one of the most important works of Scottish literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
