About This Book

A five-act drama in heroic measure stages the build-up, conflict, and aftermath of a prominent military engagement, following the raising of fortifications, the clash between defenders and attackers, and the human cost of battle. An opening prologue and concluding epilogue frame scenes of courage and disorder, while inserted lyric pieces—an ode, a speech, and a military song—underscore themes of duty, sacrifice, and communal resolve.
