The drama features a range of characters such as Satan, The Christ, Mary Magdalene, Rasputin, Familiars, Devils, Soldiers, Lust, Famine and Spirits of President Wilson of America and Lloyd George. This copy belonged to Mabel Henriette Spielmann, a biographer of Charlotte Brontë, and writer of books for children and art history. Marion H.
