    About this ebook

    "The Sack of Rome" is an absorbing play about North American women by Mercy Warren. She was an American poet, dramatist, and historian whose involvement with political leaders and important national events gave special value to her writing on the American Revolutionary period. She is one of the first American women to write mainly for the public rather than for herself.

    Mercy Otis Warren

    Mercy Otis Warren (September 14, [September 25, New Style][1] 1728 – October 19, 1814) was a political writer and propagandist of the American Revolution. During the years before the American Revolution, Warren published poems and plays that attacked royal authority in Massachusetts and urged colonists to resist British infringements on colonial rights and liberties. She was married to James Warren, who was likewise heavily active in the independence movement. (Wikipedia)
