Death and the Princess

Death and the Princess: A Morality, by Frances Darwin Cornford, is a verse drama, a morality play in poetic form. Published in 1912, this allegorical work explores themes of mortality, innocence, and the choices one makes when confronted with death. The play centers on a princess and her encounter with Death, personified as a character. Cornford's work blends elements of classical drama with the sensibilities of early 20th-century literature, offering readers a thought-provoking meditation on life's transience and the enduring power of moral choices.
