Synopsis
Number 44 in Nick Hern Book's Drama Classics series, providing great drama at a great price. Includes the full text, plus a short introduction that takes in the life of the playwright, explores what happens in the play, its place in English comedy and the themes of marriage, education, social standing, deception and disguise.
The best-loved English comedy of the 18th-century is a masterpiece of misunderstandings and a sharp satire on social standing. It brilliantly mocks the snobbery of London through the manipulations of the country, embodied in Goldsmith's great creation Tony Lumpkin. She Stoops to Conquer also celebrates the virtues of "laughing comedy," which Goldsmith advocated over the prevalent sentimental forms of his contemporaries.
