Book Overview
The Partiall Law: A Tragi-Comedy is a book written by an unknown author, believed to have been written between 1615 to 1630. The book, published in 1908, was edited and introduced by Bertram Dobell. The story is a blend of tragedy and comedy, set in the backdrop of the legal system of the time. The plot revolves around a young woman, Celia, who is forced to marry a man she does not love. She seeks the help of the law to annul the marriage, but the partiality and corruption of the judges and lawyers make it impossible for her to get justice. The play highlights the flaws in the legal system of the time and the struggles of women in a patriarchal society. The book is a valuable addition to the literature of the Jacobean era, providing insights into the social and cultural milieu of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
