Cain: a dramatic mystery in three acts

Byron's retelling of the Biblical tale of Cain's murder of his brother, Abel; Cain and Lucifer, here, are portrayed in a more positive light. The play is followed by Fabre d'Olivet's condemnation and argumentation against the theology espoused in Byron's play.
