The Goddess Of Reason
0 - Default Title
Description
Mary Johnston s drama in five acts plunges readers into the fevered streets and shadowed salons of 18th-century France as ideals collide with desire, power, and betrayal. At once a historical drama and a feminist literature milestone, this French Revolution play dramatizes the struggle of women who dare to shape ideology and destiny amid the mob, the court, and the scaffold. Johnston s keen dialogue and theatrical sweep make this five-act play both an emotional spectacle and a thoughtful meditation on revolutionary themes, conscience, and the price of reason.
Long out of print, this edition has been lovingly restored and republished by Alpha Editions. Meticulously edited for readability and fidelity to the original text, it brings back one of Mary Johnston s most provocative works for readers, scholars, and collectors.

Perfect for casual readers discovering historical drama or classic literature collectors seeking a restored Mary Johnston drama, The Goddess Of Reason bridges past and present reminding us that the debates of the French Revolution still echo today.
