Project Gutenberg 2003-07-01 Public domain in the USA. 107 Shakespeare (spurious and doubtful works) 1564 1616 A Yorkshire Tragedy Tony Adam "A Yorkshire Tragedy" by Shakespeare is a dramatic work classified as a tragedy, likely written during the early 17th century. This play presents a grim and impactful narrative that revolves around themes of moral decay, domestic strife, and the tragic consequences of personal failings. As part of the Shakespearean canon—though debated due to its apocryphal status—it reflects the tumultuous nature of human emotions and societal pressures. The story unfolds in Calverly Hall, where the husband, afflicted by financial ruin and personal despair, succumbs to madness and violence. He neglects his responsibilities as a family man, leading to catastrophic outcomes for his wife and children. In a moment of desperation, he seeks to eradicate what he perceives as the burden of his offspring, committing heinous acts against his own family. While the wife tries to navigate his volatility and brings forth the plight of their children, the husband's unchecked rage culminates in the tragic deaths of his sons. The unfolding drama not only highlights the destructive power of despair and denial but also serves as a cautionary tale about the repercussions of a life given over to vice and neglect.
