Synopsis
Satire, wit, and misadventure on the English stage — a collection of Henry Fielding’s dramatic sketches that blend sharp social satire with lively comic scenes.
This volume assembles scenes from Fielding’s dramatic works, featuring scheming lovers, meddling matchmakers, and bravado that turns folly into laughter. Read through bustling, theatrical exchanges, mistaken identities, and clever forays into marriage, class, and reputation. The material invites a modern reader to glimpse 18th-century stagecraft and the mischievous spirit that drives these comedies.
- Ribbing of social norms and gender roles with playful, pointed humor
- Character-driven banter, quick exchanges, and comic set pieces
- Entertaining plots built on disguises, letters, and schemes
- A window into early modern English satire and theatrical tradition
