A Figure of Fun - who penned one of our funniest plays Oliver Goldsmith was an eighteenth-century oddity. A failed doctor, rejected cleric and successful literary chameleon, he was variously dubbed extravagant, silly, brilliant, tender and hilarious - words that accurately describe his great farce She Stoops to Conquer. A comic classic, it sees the ill-matched Hardcastle family, idle Tony Lumpkin and young Marlow (bashful but not with barmaids) floundering around a monumental misconception that keeps even today's audiences helpless with laughter. The most comprehensive paperback edition available, with introduction, notes, glossary, selected criticism and chronology of Goldsmith's life and times
