Inhaltsangabe
A comedy of manners in which misrecognition and social inversion expose the assumptions of class, conduct, and courtship in eighteenth-century England. First performed in 1773, She Stoops to Conquer presents a series of carefully arranged misunderstandings in which the Marlow family estate is mistaken for an inn, prompting a reversal of expected behaviour among guests and hosts alike. At the centre of the play is Kate Hardcastle, who adopts a different social persona in order to engage the otherwise reserved Charles Marlow, whose ease of manner depends upon his perception of class distinction. Through this device, Goldsmith examines the instability of social performance, revealing how manners may be both genuine and constructed. The play's dialogue and structure reflect a deliberate return to what Goldsmith termed "laughing comedy," in contrast to the sentimental mode prevalent in his time. The work remains one of the most enduring comedies of the eighteenth century, valued for its precision of language, its clarity of construction, and its insight into the interplay between identity and social expectation.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Oliver Goldsmith (c. 1730-1774) was an Irish writer, poet, and playwright whose work occupies a central place in eighteenth-century literature. Known for his essays, poetry, and drama, he contributed to the revival of comic theatre through works such as She Stoops to Conquer, which rejected the prevailing sentimental style in favour of a more robust and observational form of comedy. His writing is distinguished by its clarity, balance, and enduring engagement with social life and character.
