Publisher's Synopsis
""The Tragedy of Tragedies or The Life and Death of Tom Thumb the Great"" is a satirical play written by Henry Fielding in 1730. The play is a parody of the popular tragic plays of the time and tells the story of Tom Thumb, a tiny man who becomes a hero and falls in love with a princess. The play is filled with humor and absurdity, poking fun at the conventions of tragedy and the society of the time. It is also a commentary on the political and social climate of 18th-century England. The play has been adapted and performed numerous times over the years and is still considered a classic of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
