Description

""Pan and the Young Shepherd: A Pastoral in Two Acts"" is a play written by Maurice Hewlett. The story revolves around a young shepherd named Corydon who falls in love with a beautiful nymph named Amaryllis. However, their love is forbidden by the god Pan, who is jealous of their affection for each other. The play explores themes of love, jealousy, and the power of the gods over mortal beings. The two acts are filled with poetic language and pastoral imagery, transporting the audience to a world of shepherds, nymphs, and woodland deities. Hewlett's play is a classic example of the pastoral genre, which was popular in the Renaissance era and celebrated the idyllic life of shepherds and their loves. Overall, ""Pan and the Young Shepherd"" is a beautiful and timeless piece of literature that captures the essence of pastoral life and the enduring power of love.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
