Excerpt from Married and Single: A Comedy, in Three Acts, First Performed at the Theatre-Royal, Haymarket, on Friday, July 16th, 1824; To Which Is Prefixed, an Exposure of a Recent Little Proceeding of the Great Director of the Theatre Royal, at the Corner or Brydges Street
It is now upwards of eighteen months since I read a French Drama called Le Célz'bataz're et l'homme fifarié The piece, though not remarkable either for wit or humour in its dialogue, nor exhibiting even the shadow of a cha racter, yet contained three or four ludicrous Situations. Those who are at all acquainted with the French Theatre are aware that such a material is insufficient for the English stage; and that by a mere plodding translation, made with the help of Nugent's pocket-dictionary, it would no more become an English Comedy, than a French Melodrama, by similar drudgery, would start forth an English Tragedy. The piece, too, contained one capital defect: the author did not accomplish his own intention.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of marriage and single life in early 19th-century England through a satirical lens. The author offers a scathing critique of societal expectations and the hypocrisy surrounding marriage and its perceived benefits. Through a series of witty exchanges between a cast of characters, the book explores themes of social climbing, financial anxieties, and the pursuit of fleeting pleasures. The narrative focuses on the contrasting perspectives of a married man, who yearns for the freedom of bachelorhood, and a single man, who longs for the security of marriage. The book's exploration of marital hypocrisy and the anxieties of the time provide a valuable insight into the social dynamics and evolving cultural norms of early 19th-century England.
