Sobre IBD

The Beaux-Stratagem is a comedy play written by George Farquhar in 1707. The play is set in the town of Lichfield, England, and follows the adventures of two young men, Aimwell and Archer, who have come to the town with the intention of marrying wealthy women. The play is full of witty dialogue, mistaken identities, and romantic entanglements. Aimwell and Archer assume false identities in order to win the hearts of two wealthy women, Dorinda and Mrs. Sullen. However, their plans are complicated by a series of mishaps and misunderstandings, including the arrival of Mrs. Sullen’s abusive husband. The play is a classic example of Restoration comedy, with its emphasis on sexual intrigue, social satire, and clever wordplay. Despite its age, The Beaux-Stratagem remains a popular and influential play, and is still performed today in theaters around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
