Jane Clegg

""Jane Clegg: A Play In Three Acts"" is a dramatic work written by St. John Greer Ervine and first published in 1914. The play tells the story of Jane Clegg, a middle-aged working-class woman who is trapped in a loveless marriage to her abusive husband, Henry. Despite her difficult circumstances, Jane remains steadfast in her commitment to her family and her sense of morality. When Henry's financial misdeeds threaten to ruin their lives, Jane must confront her own feelings of loyalty and duty to her husband and children. The play explores themes of domestic abuse, class struggle, and the struggle for personal autonomy in a society that often denies it to women. With its realistic portrayal of working-class life and its sympathetic depiction of a strong, independent woman, ""Jane Clegg"" remains a powerful and moving work of drama.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
