«She Stoops to Conquer» is Oliver Goldsmith's stage comedy, published by Talman Co. in paperback (102 pages, in English).
«She Stoops to Conquer», premiered in 1773, is a comedy of errors in which Kate Hardcastle poses as a servant to overcome Charles Marlow's shyness. The plot, driven by Tony Lumpkin, combines mistaken identities and misunderstandings, and champions laughing comedy against the sentimental theatre of its time.
The edition belongs to the New Mermaids collection, edited by Tom Davis, and was published on December 12, 1986.
Aimed at students of English literature and theatre, and readers interested in eighteenth-century classics.
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).
