The Strike At Arlingford: Play In Three Acts

By George Moore

Book Overview

""The Strike at Arlingford"" is a play written by George Moore, originally published in 1893. The story takes place in the fictional town of Arlingford, where a group of workers have gone on strike in protest of their poor working conditions. The play is divided into three acts, each of which explores different aspects of the strike and its impact on the town and its inhabitants. The first act introduces the main characters and sets the stage for the conflict between the workers and their employers. In the second act, tensions rise as the strike begins to take a toll on both sides, and the characters are forced to confront the consequences of their actions. The final act brings the story to a dramatic conclusion, as the strike comes to an end and the characters are left to pick up the pieces of their lives. Throughout the play, Moore explores themes of social justice, class struggle, and the human cost of industrialization. ""The Strike at Arlingford"" is a powerful and thought-provoking work that remains relevant to contemporary debates about labor rights and economic inequality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
