The Dramatic Works Of George Farquhar PDF Download

Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of George Farquhar, Vol. 2 of 2: Edited, With Life and Notes This comedy was produced at Drury Lane on December 14, 1702. It is the most accurate of all Farquhar's productions. The plot, though improbable, is well constructed and sustained, the dialogue lively and entertaining, whilst the characters of the Younger Would be, Mrs. Mandrake, and Teague are so naturally drawn as to appear real personages, dependent little upon the art of the actor or the imagination of the author for their creation. We have also here less of that "pert low dialogue" of which Pope complained. The play was, however, not a success, and was soon withdrawn.
