''Marriage in May Fair'' is a comedy play in five acts written by Peter George Patmore and originally published in 1854. The play is set in the high society of May Fair, a fashionable district of London, and follows the romantic entanglements of a group of wealthy and aristocratic characters. The story centers around the marriage prospects of the beautiful and wealthy Lady Mary, who is courted by several suitors, including the rakish Lord George and the earnest Mr. Clifford. Along the way, the play satirizes the conventions and hypocrisies of Victorian society, particularly with regard to marriage and social status. The play’s witty dialogue and lively characters make it an entertaining and insightful commentary on the mores of its time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
