AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The plot concerns an excommunicated Spanish noblewoman whom jealousy and the promise that she will be welcomed back to the bosom of Mother Church, causes to betray her heretic lover. But before they come to take him away she has learned that her jealousy was unwarranted, and they flee together. The author represents the working of the woman's agonised conscience by introducing the symbolic figure of a stranger, a forgiven Judas Iscariot, who shows her that there are other ways than that of the betrayer of entering the ' many mansions' of the Kingdom of Heaven' ('Little Theatre,' p.20).
