Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Oliver Goldsmith was a prominent Irish novelist and playwright in the 18th century. Goldsmith is best remembered for having written the plays She Stoops to Conquer, and The Good-Natured Man, as well as the novel The Vicar of Wakefield. She Stoops to Conquer is a comedy that was first performed in 1773. The action centers around Kate, the daughter of a wealthy countryman, who tries to win the heart of Charles Marlow by pretending to be an ordinary hard-working woman. The play is still widely performed and has been adapted into movies on many occasions.

How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Illustrated About She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith This charming comedy has delighted audiences for over two centuries. First performed in 1773, it concerns Kate Hardcastle, a young lady who poses as a serving girl to win the heart of a young gentleman too shy to court ladies of his own class. A number of delightful deceits and hilarious turns of plot must be played out before the mating strategies of both Kate Hardcastle and her friend Constance Neville conclude happily. Along the way, there is an abundance of merry mix-ups, racy dialogue and sly satire of the sentimental comedies of Goldsmith's day. The extraordinary humor and humanity with which Goldsmith invested this play have made it one of the most read, performed, and studied of all English comedies.
