Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. "Three English Comedies" is a curated collection of quintessential dramatic works that defined the height of 18th-century British theater. This anthology brings together three of the most celebrated and enduring plays in the English language: "She Stoops to Conquer" by Oliver Goldsmith, and "The Rivals" and "The School for Scandal" by Richard Brinsley Sheridan. These masterpieces of the stage represent a pivotal shift in theatrical history, moving away from sentimental drama toward a more vibrant, witty, and satirical form of "laughing comedy."Inside, readers will find a brilliant display of verbal dexterity, mistaken identities, and sharp social commentary. From the rural hijinks and misunderstandings of the Hardcastle household to the linguistic acrobatics of Mrs. Malaprop and the biting gossip of Lady Sneerwell's circle, these plays explore themes of courtship, reputation, and the complexities of class with timeless humor. This collection serves as an essential introduction to the Georgian era's theatrical brilliance, showcasing the clever plotting and vivid characterization that have kept these works in the global repertory for centuries. Whether for the student of literature or the lover of classic drama, these plays remain as entertaining and relevant today as they were upon their debut.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
