Sinopsis

Combined in this volume are three of Richard Brinsley Sheridan&rsquo,s most loved works. &ldquo,The School for Scandal&rdquo, is Sheridan&rsquo,s classic comedy that pokes fun at London upper class society in the late 1700s. Often referred to as a &ldquo,comedy of manners&rdquo,, &ldquo,The School for Scandal&rdquo, is one Sheridan&rsquo,s most performed plays and a classic of English comedic drama. &ldquo,The Rivals&rdquo, was Sheridan&rsquo,s first play and while at first it was not well received it would go on to prove to be a great success and establish Sheridan as a major talent. &ldquo,The Rivals&rdquo, satirizes the pretentiousness of English society in the late 18th century. As witty and accessible today as when it was first written, &ldquo,The Rivals&rdquo, sparkles with the humor that Sheridan and his writing are known for. In &ldquo,The Critic&rdquo, Sheridan turns his attention to satirize the theatre and all the people engaged in the business of it in late 18th century England. The critic of the story is a man by the name of Mr. Dangle and the play that is the subject of criticism is a horribly written production named &ldquo,The Spanish Armada&rdquo,. Fans of Sheridan will delight in this lesser known work. Together these works make a great introduction to the works of Richard Brinsley Sheridan. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
