A Florentine Tragedy/For Love of the King

A Florentine Tragedy/ For Love of the King is a compilation of two classic works by the great Irish humorist, Oscar Wilde. A Florentine Tragedy is a fragment of a never-completed play by Oscar Wilde. The subject concerns Simone, a wealthy 16th-century Florentine merchant who finds his wife Bianca in the arms of a local prince, Guido Bardi. For the Love of the King is a very interesting and richly coloured masque or pantomimic play which is here printed in book form for the first time, was invented sometime in 1894 or possibly a little earlier.
