"This landmark edition . . . will be invaluable to scholars, teachers, and students."—Carol Thomas Neely, author of Broken Nuptials in Shakespeare's Plays
Originally published in 1613, this is the earliest play to have been written in English by a woman. The influence of feminism in literary studies has caused a revival of interest in the works of Elizabeth Cary and this is the first edition of The Tragedy of Mariamto be accessible to a wide range of readers.
Excerpt from The Tragedy of Mariam, 1613 With Peete of State, dost make thy Muse to mete the scenes of Syracuse and Palestine. These lines, taken in conjunction with the dedicatory sonnet already printed, afford satisfactory evidence that Davies is addressing the author of Mariam. That the later Viscountess Falkland is intended is also clear, for though there were several Lady Elizabeth Carys, and several Sir Henry Carys, there appears to have been but one Lady Elizabeth who was the wife of a Sir Henry. The material portions of Davies' dedication will be found printed at the end of the present introduction. If Lady Elizabeth Cary was the E. C. Of the sonnet, who was the Mistress Elizabeth Carey.> Sir Henry Cary, later Viscount Falkland, had a sister Elizabeth, to whom the designation would of course apply, but it appears that she married Sir John Savile on 20 nov. 1 y86, when the author of Mariam must have been still in her cradle. But Sir Henry also had a rather obscure brother Philip, who was knighted sometime between March 16 0 5 and April 1609, and this Philip married a certain Elizabeth Bland of Carle ton, Yorks. This lady must then have been the Mistress Elizabeth Cary to whom Mariam is dedicated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Tragedy of Mariam, the Fair Queen of Jewry is a Jacobean-era drama written by Elizabeth Cary, Viscountess Falkland, and first published in 1613. There is some speculation that Cary may have written a play before The Tragedy of Mariam that was lost, but most scholars agree that The Tragedy of Mariam is the first extant original play written by a woman in English.
Elizabeth Tanfield Cary, Lady Falkland (1585- 1639) was a poet, translator, and dramatist. Cary was associated with the literary circle of Mary Herbert, Countess of Pembroke, and a number of writers dedicated various works to her, a testament to her literary reputation. She is best known now for The Tragedy of Mariam: The Fair Queen of Jewry (1613), the first original play in English known to have been written by a woman. Amongst her other works are The History of the Most Unfortunate Prince: King Edward II (1680).
