Summary "In the Name of Time: A Tragedy" by Michael Field is a dramatic work likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around historic characters from the Frankish and Lombard kingdoms, particularly focusing on the internal struggles of Carloman, a Frankish leader who contemplates renouncing his kingship in favor of a monastic life. The play explores themes of duty, faith, and the conflict between worldly power and spiritual aspiration. The opening of the play introduces Carloman, who grapples with profound thoughts of kingship, divine purpose, and his desire for a life dedicated to God. He encounters influential figures like Boniface, the missionary saint, and his brother Pepin, who hold opposing views on governance and faith. The dialogue reveals Carloman's yearning to break free from the constraints of political destiny, his conflicted emotions towards his wife Geneviva, and the societal expectations placed upon him. Through intense exchanges and poignant reflections, the stage is set for a narrative rich in personal turmoil and historical intrigue. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
