Hamilton

Founding father Alexander Hamilton is enticed into an extramarital affair by Mrs. Reynolds, perhaps with the connivance of his political enemies, then blackmailed by her husband. When his payments to her husband are exposed, Hamilton is accused of exploiting his office. Will Hamilton sacrifice his personal honor and future ambitions to preserve the integrity of the office? The play is based on historical fact, but condenses the timeline, capturing the essence of Hamilton's sincerity, dedication, honor, and courage. Mary P. Hamlin was a significant literary figure whose work has stood the test of time. This public domain edition preserves the original text in its entirety, making it accessible to modern readers and scholars alike. The dramatic works of earlier centuries formed the backbone of a rich theatrical tradition. Hamilton was written to be performed as well as read, and its theatrical power remains fully evident on the page, with characters, conflict, and language that leap to life.
