Creators: Mixed 'A Florentine Tragedy' is in blank-verse set in the sixteenth century. It tells the story of the illicit love between a burgher's wife, Bianca, and the young heir to the throne of Florence, Guido. Guido has come to the house of the burgher Simone to claim Bianca for his own. Encouraged by her, Guido promises a fortune to Simone in exchange for her hand. Simone, though greedy for the money, is not to be swayed so easily, and a fight to the death ensues. Written in 1894, 'A Florentine Tragedy' exists only as a fragment, often accompanied for the purposes of presentation by an opening scene commissioned from the Irish poet Thomas Sturge Moore by Robert Ross, Wilde's literary executor. Only Oscar Wilde's work is presented here.

MixedFlorentine tragedy is actually a sort of some critics have argued it's a fragment others have POS ited that it's that was just meant to be a sort of one act Wonder it's got a lot of pasti but for me it's less indulgent than salomi or lent corisan or The Duchess of Padua
Lovedhis plays are just so good like I think I rate him most of all as just like the best dramatist of the Victorian period
