The Tragedy of Mariam (1613) marks a groundbreaking moment in literary history as the first original play written in English by a woman. Crafted by Elizabeth Cary, this closet drama draws inspiration from Jewish histories by Josephus, delving into the life of Mariam, the second wife of Herod the Great. As the play unfolds, Mariam grapples with conflicting emotions—relieved at the thought of Herods death due to her anger over his past actions, yet torn by her love and sense of duty as his wife. When Herod unexpectedly returns, Mariam is faced with a heart-wrenching decision that challenges her loyalties and self-identity. - Summary by Elizabeth Klett
