Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. 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.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A comedy of manners in which misrecognition and social inversion expose the assumptions of class, conduct, and courtship in eighteenth-century England. First performed in 1773, She Stoops to Conquer presents a series of carefully arranged misunderstandings in which the Marlow family estate is mistaken for an inn, prompting a reversal of expected behaviour among guests and hosts alike.At the centre of the play is Kate Hardcastle, who adopts a different social persona in order to engage the otherwise reserved Charles Marlow, whose ease of manner depends upon his perception of class distinction. Through this device, Goldsmith examines the instability of social performance, revealing how manners may be both genuine and constructed. The play's dialogue and structure reflect a deliberate return to what Goldsmith termed 'laughing comedy,' in contrast to the sentimental mode prevalent in his time.The work remains one of the most enduring comedies of the eighteenth century, valued for its precision of language, its clarity of construction, and its insight into the interplay between identity and social expectation.…
