The Mysterious Mother
T0276994148
Written in 1768 and given its subject matter of incest and Walpole's taste for the macabre, this blank-verse drama has had to wait until now to be performed. A countess with a secret, a daughter who thinks she is an orphan, a son who has been banished and the villainous father-confessor are revealed in more psychological detail than the conventions of the time would ever have allowed.
