Résumé

Résumé : "Rosamund, Queen of the Lombards: A Tragedy" by Algernon Charles Swinburne is a dramatic exploration of power dynamics, betrayal, and revenge set in 6th-century Lombard Italy. The play unfolds in Verona, where Albovine, the King of the Lombards, grapples with the complexities of love and loyalty. His queen, Rosamund, is tormented by the memory of her father's death at Albovine's hands, a deed that haunts their marriage. The narrative delves into Rosamund's internal conflict as she navigates her role as both wife and avenger. The drama intensifies as Rosamund manipulates those around her to exact revenge on Albovine. She enlists the young warrior Almachildes, who is in love with her handmaid Hildegard, to carry out her plan. Rosamund's cunning is evident as she orchestrates a scenario where Almachildes is compelled to choose between his loyalty to the king and his love for Hildegard. The queen's machinations reveal her as a complex character driven by a desire for justice and retribution. Swinburne's tragedy is rich with themes of love, power, and the consequences of vengeance. The characters are intricately developed, each grappling with their own moral dilemmas. The play's setting in the Lombard court provides a backdrop of political intrigue and personal vendettas, highlighting the fragile nature of alliances and the destructive potential of unchecked transition.
