av Oliver Goldsmith

Soon, they are all thrown into a tale of love, deceit, abduction, betrayal and humour.

The hugely successful "The Vicar of Wakefield" from 1766 became one of the most popular novels of Victorian England, with direct references to it in the work of Austen, Dickens, Shelley, Eliot, Brontë, Goethe, Schopenhauer and many others.

Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774) was an Irish novelist, playwright and poet. He is most famous for his novel "The Vicar of Wakefield" (1766).

Vicar of Wakefield
av Oliver Goldsmith
There are an hundred faults in this Thing, and an hundred things might be said to prove them beauties. But it is needless. A book may be amusing with numerous errors, or it may be very dull without a single absurdity. The hero of this piece unites in himself the three greatest characters upon earth; he is a priest, an husbandman, and the father of a family. He is drawn as ready to teach, and ready to obey, as simple in affluence, and majestic in adversity. In this age of opulence and refinement whom can such a character please?

She Stoops to Conquer
av Oliver Goldsmith
If enduring popularity is a mark of quality, then 'She Stoops to Conquer' is among the greatest plays ever written; for the 1773 comedy has been performed almost without a break for 250 years.

It centres on the efforts of Mr Hardcastle to marry his daughter Kate to his friend's son, Marlow. When Marlow arrives at their house, he is brusque with Mr Hardcastle because he has been tricked into believing it is a hotel.

Mayhem and misunderstanding ensue as Marlow's companion Hastings plots with Hardcastle's niece to steal the family jewels. Then Marlow mistakes Kate for a serving maid and flirts with her. Is he a rude, licentious man? Or will Kate discover hidden depths to redeem him?

A groundbreaking and sharp satire about the clash between town and country, 'She Stoops to Conquer' gently mocks the sentimental plays of its era and is ideal reading for fans of Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw.

Oliver Goldsmith (1730-1774) was an Irish essayist, novelist, poet, and playwright.

His work includes the essay collection 'The Citizen of the World' (1762), the novel 'The Vicar of Wakefield' (1766), the plays 'The Good Natur'd Man' (1768) and 'She Stoops to Conquer' (1773), and the poetry collections 'Traveller, or, a Prospect of Society' (1764), 'An Elegy on the Death of a Mad Dog' (1766), and 'The Deserted Village: A Poem' (1770).

She Stoops To Conquer
av Oliver Goldsmith
The She Stoops to Conquer is a comedy drama by Oliver Goldsmith. The play is both a satire on the upper class and their pretensions and a comparison of city and rural life. The plot of the play centers on the escapades of Charles Marlow, a rich young man who finds it easy to be frightened by ladies from higher social classes but who acts boisterously among those he perceives to be beneath him. His father sends him to Mr. Hardcastle's estate so he might pursue his daughter Kate. Mr. Hardcastle is a rich country squire. There are many odd couplings and a happy ending as a result of mistaken identities, miscommunications, and a number of hilarious occurrences. When it was initially produced, She Stoops to Conquer was a financial and critical success, and it is still one of the plays in the English language that is played the most. It is noteworthy for its blend of broad physical humor and smart language, as well as for its generally favorable depiction of the lower classes.

Vicar of Wakefield - Illustrated by Arthur Rackham
av Oliver Goldsmith
The Vicar of Wakefield, subtitled, 'A Tale Supposed to be written by Himself' - is a novel by Irish writer Oliver Goldsmith (1728 - 1774). It was one of the most popular and widely read eighteenth century novels, displaying the author's belief in the innate goodness of human beings. 'The Vicar of Wakefield' can also be read however, as a satire on the sentimental novel and its values, as the vicar's values are apparently not compatible with the real 'sinful' world. Whichever interpretation the reader takes, it is a story to be appreciated by both young and old alike - loved and cited by writers as talented and diverse as Charles Dickens, Mary Shelley, Charlotte Bronte and Goethe. The book further contains a series of dazzling colour and black-and-white illustrations - by a master of the craft; Arthur Rackham (1867 - 1939). One of the most celebrated painters of the British Golden Age of Illustration (which encompassed the years from 1850 until the start of the First World War), Rackham's artistry is quite simply, unparalleled. Throughout his career, he developed a unique style, combining haunting humour with dream-like romance. Presented alongside the text, his illustrations further refine and elucidate Oliver Goldsmith's enthralling storytelling.

Vicar of Wakefield
av Oliver Goldsmith, Stephen Coote, Stephen Coote
When Dr Primrose loses his fortune in a disastrous investment, his idyllic life in the country is shattered and he is forced to move with his wife and six children to an impoverished living on the estate of Squire Thornhill. Taking to the road in pursuit of his daughter, who has been seduced by the rakish Squire, the beleaguered Primrose becomes embroiled in a series of misadventures - encountering his long-lost son in a travelling theatre company and even spending time in a debtor's prison. Yet Primrose, though hampered by his unworldliness and pride, is sustained by his unwavering religious faith. In The Vicar of Wakefield, Goldsmith gently mocks many of the literary conventions of his day - from pastoral and romance to the picaresque - infusing his story of a hapless clergyman with warm humour and amiable social satire.

Vicar of Wakefield
av Oliver Goldsmith, Arthur Friedman, Robert L MacK
'He loved all mankind; for fortune prevented him from knowing there were rascals.'Oliver Goldsmith's hugely successful novel of 1766 remained for generations one of the most highly regarded and beloved works of eighteenth-century fiction. It depicts the fall and rise of the Primrose family, presided over by the benevolent vicar, the narrator of a fairy-tale plot of impersonation and deception, the abduction of a beautiful heroine and the machinations of an aristocratic villain. By turns comic and sentimental, the novel's popularity owes much to its recognizable depictionof domestic life and loving family relationships. Regarded by some as a straightforward and well-intentioned novel of sentiment, and by others as a satire on the very literary conventions and morality it seems to embody, The Vicar of Wakefield contains, in the figure of the vicar himself, one of the most harmlessly simply and unsophisticated yet also ironically complex narrators ever to appear in English fiction. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Life Of Oliver Goldsmith
av Washington Irving
At Sunnyside, Irving wrote his " Life of Oliver Goldsmith." Putnam, the bookseller, had said to him one day : "Here is Foster's ' Life of Goldsmith ;' I think of republishing it." "I once wrote a Memoir of Goldsmith," answered Irving, " which was prefixed to an edition of his works printed at Paris ; and I have thought of enlarging it and making it more perfect." " If you will do that," was the reply of the bookseller, "I shall not republish the Life by Foster." Within three months afterward, Irving's " Life of Goldsmith" was finished and in press. It was so much superior to the original sketch, in the exactness of the particulars, the entertainment of the anecdotes, and the beauty of the style, that it was really a new work. There is no biographical memoir which carries forward the reader so delightfully and with so little tediousness of recital or reflection. The reader is always being tempted to wish that Irving had written more works of the kind; but this could hardly be ; for Where could he have found another Goldsmith ?
