Summary "The Romance of a Princess: A Comedy; and Other Poems" by Amy Redpath Roddick is a dramatic play combined with poetry written in the early 20th century. The central narrative follows Princess Emma of the Franks during the time of Charlemagne, exploring themes of love, duty, and personal conflict amidst a historical backdrop. The characters include Emma, her father King Charles, and her love interest Eginhardt, all navigating the complexities of royal life and their respective desires. The opening of the play introduces us to Princess Emma, who has just returned home from a grand function with Eastern ambassadors. As she reflects on a day filled with ceremonial splendors and her royal duties, her father Charles visits, bringing gifts and news of sacred relics that weigh heavily on Emma's thoughts. Their conversation reveals the tension between familial affection and the expectations placed on Emma as a princess. The scene is set for interpersonal conflicts as romantic tensions arise, especially with Eginhardt, hinted to be more than just a trusted friend, making way for a tale woven with intrigue, duty, and emotional depth.
