Summary "The Southern Literary Messenger, Vol. II., No. 10, September, 1836" by Various is a periodical literary publication written in the early 19th century. This edition includes notable contributions, such as "Cromwell" by Edward Lytton Bulwer, a drama that reflects on themes of power, justice, and the moral dilemmas faced during a tumultuous historical period. It captures both the political and personal conflicts that arise in response to the execution of King Charles I of England. The opening of this volume sets the stage for the play "Cromwell," which begins in Whitehall, encapsulating the tension following the regicide. Key characters, including Ireton, Harrison, and Martin, discuss the public's obsession with seeing the now dethroned king, revealing their conflicted feelings about their roles in a violent political upheaval. As they grapple with their actions, a young soldier, Sir Hubert Cecil, confronts them, expressing outrage over the murder of the king. The scene hints at deeper explorations of loyalty, love, and the consequences of power, particularly through the lens of relationships impacted by Cromwell's regime, including Cecil's feelings for Edith, Cromwell's niece. This opening establishes a stark conflict between personal ethics and political necessity that will undoubtedly resonate throughout the drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
