The Mysterious Mother: A Tragedy is a play written by Horace Walpole and first published in 1791. The play revolves around the story of a mother who becomes pregnant with her own son and the tragic consequences that follow. The main character, Countess of Narbonne, is haunted by her past and the memory of her deceased husband. She becomes obsessed with her son, and their relationship becomes increasingly inappropriate. The play explores themes of incest, guilt, and the consequences of one's actions. It is considered one of the most controversial plays of the 18th century, and its subject matter was considered taboo at the time. The play was not well-received by critics and was banned from being performed for many years. However, it has since gained a cult following and is now regarded as a classic of Gothic literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
