Jane Clegg: A Play In Three Acts (1914)

Jane Clegg is a play in three acts written by St. John Greer Ervine and first performed in 1913. The play follows the story of Jane Clegg, a middle-aged woman who is married to a man named Henry. Despite their seemingly happy marriage, Jane discovers that Henry has been unfaithful to her and has contracted a sexually transmitted disease. As she struggles to come to terms with this revelation, Jane must also contend with the disapproval of her family and society's expectations of women. Throughout the play, Jane must navigate her own desires and emotions while also confronting the limitations placed upon her by her gender and social status. With its themes of infidelity, gender roles, and societal expectations, Jane Clegg is a thought-provoking and poignant exploration of the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
