Modern Monologues (1893)

Modern Monologues is a collection of dramatic monologues written by Marjorie Benton Cooke and published in 1893. The book contains 21 monologues, each featuring a different character and exploring various themes such as love, loss, and social issues. The characters range from young lovers to elderly women, and their stories are set in different locations, from New York City to the countryside. The monologues are written in a naturalistic style, with the characters speaking in their own voices and using everyday language. They offer a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people, and the struggles and joys they experience. Some of the monologues are humorous, while others are poignant and emotional. Overall, Modern Monologues is a fascinating snapshot of life in late 19th century America, and a testament to Cooke's skill as a writer and observer of human nature. It is a valuable resource for actors, students of drama, and anyone interested in the history of American literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
