Description

This strongly moralistic and didactic tale narrates the seduction and murder of the innocent Josephine by the libertine Lord Albert. Written in 1812 by Sarah Wilkinson and published by Ann Lemoine, the chapbook is an adaptation of the ballad 'Alonzo the Brave, and Fair Imogine' by Matthew Lewis which originally appeared in The Monk in 1796. The ballad relates the woeful tale of Imogine, who promises fidelity to Alonzo, but falls in love with a wealthy baron. Alonzo, who has perished in battle, comes to reclaim his 'bride' at her wedding, dragging her to hell for breaking her promise.
