Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - She Stoops to Conquer; Or, The Mistakes of a Night is a sparkling comedy of manners built on misrecognition, disguise, and social embarrassment. Centered on young Marlow's inability to court women of his own class and Kate Hardcastle's ingenious decision to 'stoop' in apparent rank, the play transforms one night's confusion into a critique of courtship, class performance, and parental authority. Written in robust prose rather than sentimental refinement, it helped restore laughter to the eighteenth-century stage, challenging the prevailing taste for moralizing sentimental comedy with farce, wit, and humane irony. Oliver Goldsmith, Irish-born essayist, poet, novelist, and dramatist, brought to the theater a cosmopolitan yet outsider's eye. His own precarious career in London literary circles, his sensitivity to pretension, and his affection for eccentric human folly inform the play's generous satire. Like The Vicar of Wakefield, it reveals Goldsmith's gift for balancing ridicule with sympathy. This play is highly recommended to readers interested in theatrical wit, social comedy, and the evolution of English drama. Its ingenious plotting and lively characters remain remarkably stageworthy and intellectually rewarding.…
