The Flutter of the Goldleaf: And Other Plays (1922)

Olive Tilford Dargan,Frederick Peterson

The Flutter of the Goldleaf: And Other Plays is a collection of plays written by Olive Tilford Dargan and published in 1922. The book contains three plays: The Flutter of the Goldleaf, Green Fields, and The First Wife. The Flutter of the Goldleaf is a one-act play that tells the story of a young woman who is torn between her love for her husband and her desire for independence. Green Fields is a three-act play that explores the lives of a group of farmers in rural Kentucky and their struggles to survive in a changing world. The First Wife is a one-act play that deals with the themes of jealousy and betrayal in a marriage.Dargan's plays are known for their strong female characters and their exploration of social issues such as gender roles, class, and race. The Flutter of the Goldleaf, in particular, is considered a feminist play for its portrayal of a woman who defies societal expectations and chooses to pursue her own dreams.Overall, The Flutter of the Goldleaf: And Other Plays is a thought-provoking collection of plays that offers insight into the social and cultural issues of early 20th century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
