The Vicar of Wakefield is a novel full of irony and lyricism, starring the generous and somewhat pedantic vicar Primrose, a loving family father portrayed with humor and tenderness. His economic ruin triggers a series of calamities that his family must face, including deceptions, unrequited loves, kidnappings, and duels. Despite the adversities, Primrose maintains hope and patience, trusting that everything will turn out well. This story, which follows the tradition of the great authors of the 18th century, offers an attractive reading about resilience and hope.
Oliver Goldsmith was an Anglo-Irish poet, novelist, playwright, and hack writer. He produced literary works in a variety of genres and is regarded as one of the most versatile writers of the Georgian era. His works are known for their realistic depictions of British society, and his comedy plays for the English stage are considered second in importance only to those of playwright William Shakespeare. Credited with introducing sentimentalism in English literature in 18th-century Great Britain, several of Goldsmith's publications are popular classics of the period, including his only novel, The Vicar of Wakefield (1766), and the comedy play She Stoops to Conquer (1773).
