from Free Audiobook Library · host 🟡 Full Audiobooks & Classic Books
https://www.theforbiddenknowledgenetwork.com The second original tragedy written by Gothic writer Matthew Lewis, <I>Adelgitha; or, The Fruits of a Single Error</i> is a markedly more serious affair than his melodramatic output, dealing as it does with a fallen woman who is mercilessly blackmailed by a ruthless tyrant when she spurns his advances. Set in Otranto during the High Middle Ages, and featuring fictionalized depictions of historical rulers Robert Guiscard (of the Normans) and Michael Ducas (of Byzantium), <i>Adelgitha</i> is an archetypal Gothic drama that, while not especially refined or meritorious in terms of quality, still manages to thrill in that deliciously overwrought way that Lewis knew how to sell. Author: Matthew Lewis Length: 2 hours 2 minutes Genre: Gothic Fiction, Tragedy Chapters: 00:00 - Chapter 1 22:49 - Chapter 2 48:59 - Chapter 3 01:12:26 - Chapter 4 01:41:13 - Chapter 5 #FullAudiobook #ClassicAudiobook #ClassicLiterature #HorrorAudiobook #PublicDomain This audiobook recording is from LibriVox.org.
