Synopsis

The Dramatic Works of Samuel Foote Volume 2 is a collection of plays written by Samuel Foote, an 18th century English playwright and actor. The book includes four plays: The Orators, The Minor, The Lyar, and The Patron. The Orators is a satire on the legal profession, while The Minor is a comedy about a young man who inherits a fortune and falls in love with a woman of lower social status. The Lyar is a farce about a man who lies compulsively, and The Patron is a comedy about a wealthy man who attempts to buy his way into high society. The book also includes a biographical sketch of Foote's life, written by the author himself. The collection provides insight into the theatrical culture of the late 18th century, and Foote's unique style of satire and comedy.In Four Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
