Oliver Goldsmith’s enduring comedy offers a knowing send-up of the sentimental stage fashions of its time, balancing social observation with brisk theatrical misdirection. At its centre is a young woman who adopts a disguise in order to draw out a gentleman whose reserve makes him reluctant to court within his own class. The action turns on a sequence of carefully managed deceptions and comic reversals, building towards a happy conclusion. With notes included, this edition suits readers interested in classic drama and theatre.
