Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, written circa 1730, is a delightful and engaging prose comedy that explores the themes of love, marriage, and social expectations in 18th century England and the complexities of human nature. At the heart of the story are two sisters, Charlotte and Sophronia, who represent contrasting views on marriage and relationships. Charlotte is a lively and spirited young woman who longs for a traditional marriage filled with love and companionship, while Sophronia is a brilliant and independent intellectual who believes that marriage is an unnecessary and even oppressive institution. The arrival of two suitors, the eligible Mr. Frankly and the eccentric and wealthy Mr. Witling, further complicates matters, as both men pursue the sisters, each hoping to win their affections. Through the witty and often humorous interactions of its characters, the book delves into the complex social and gender roles of the time and examines the nature of true love and happiness. The author cleverly uses the characters to explore the tension between personal desires and societal expectations, challenging conventional notions of marriage and relationships. The insights into human nature and relationships are timeless, making this book as relevant and enjoyable to readers today as it was to those of its time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330710845_0
