THE VICAR OF WAKEFIELD is the warm and amusing story of an eighteenth-century parson and his family. SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER is, above all, a wildly hilarious play. It came as a blessing to an English stage that was overburdened with sentimental plays, and it remains a favorite of modern theatergoers. Witty, fast-paced, delightfully absurd, it revolves around the actions of: a young man shy with ladies but not with barmaids; a young lady sensible enough to pose as a barmaid; and Tony Lumpkin, a simple fellow whose wits are sharpened when he feels himself approaching the marriage altar too closely. 6653599 1939 The Vicar of Wakefield and She Stoops to Conquer (A Perennial Classic) total:2|4:1|3:1| 2 7 8 0 0 0 false false Sun Nov 08 13:17:11 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 13:17:11 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 26 09:44:31 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 26 09:44:31 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu May 21 01:06:14 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 01:06:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue May 12 23:37:44 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 23:37:44 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Oct 19 01:59:46 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 19 01:59:46 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Oct 13 12:19:58 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 13 12:19:58 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Oct 11 16:37:10 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 11 16:37:10 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Jun 15 09:31:07 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 15 09:31:24 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3441038
