Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Fatal Dowry" by Philip Massinger and Nathaniel Field is a tragedy written around 1619. A noble son offers himself to debtor's prison to free his deceased father's body for burial. His extraordinary sacrifice wins him a wealthy bride, but her infidelity sets off a chain of violence and revenge. The young husband catches his wife with her lover, leading to duels, a mock trial, and multiple deaths that震 the court of Dijon. This collaboration explores honor, betrayal, and fatal consequences in Jacobean drama.
