Summary: "A Select Collection of Old English Plays, Volume 14" by Dodsley and Hazlitt is a collection of theatrical works written in the early 18th century. This volume features a variety of plays, including the tragedy "The Rebellion" by Thomas Rawlins, along with several other titles illustrating the breadth of old English drama. The collection likely aims to showcase the themes and styles of the time, specifically focusing on rebellion, romance, and the complexities of human emotions, alongside social commentary. The opening of the collection introduces "The Rebellion," highlighting its author and offering a glimpse into the background and accolades surrounding it. It sets up a rich narrative filled with characters such as Antonio, a nobleman embroiled in conflict, and Machiavel, a figure scheming for power. As the play unfolds, it depicts themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the consequences of ambition against a backdrop of civil strife, setting the stage for an exploration of moral dilemmas and personal relationships amid chaos. The scenes introduce various characters who interlace their destinies through love, honor, and the tension of impending war, drawing readers into a vibrant, dramatic world.
