Synopsis

This collection presents five plays by British poet and playwright Gordon Bottomley, showcasing his distinctive verse and dramatic flair.

Bottomley's plays are known for their lyrical language, atmospheric settings, and exploration of intense human emotions. This volume offers a valuable glimpse into the work of a significant figure in early 20th-century British drama, appealing to readers interested in verse drama, historical themes, and the revival of poetic drama.
