The Royal Merchant: An Opera is a play written by John Fletcher in 1768. The story is set in Venice and revolves around the merchant Antonio, who is in love with the beautiful and wealthy Isabella. However, Isabella’s father is against their union and instead wants her to marry the Duke of Milan. Antonio is forced to borrow money from the Jewish moneylender Shylock to pay for Isabella’s dowry. When Antonio’s ships are lost at sea, he is unable to repay the loan and Shylock demands a pound of his flesh as repayment. The play explores themes of love, greed, revenge, and justice. The Royal Merchant is considered one of Fletcher’s most successful works and has been adapted into various forms, including an opera by the composer Thomas Linley in 1775.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
