Sobre IBD

''Women’s Wit or Love’s Disguises'' is a play written by James Sheridan Knowles in 1838. The play is divided into five acts and explores the themes of love, deception, and the power of wit. The story follows the character of Lady Elizabeth, who disguises herself as a man in order to win the heart of the man she loves. Along the way, she must navigate the complexities of courtship and deal with the unwanted advances of a persistent suitor. As the plot unfolds, Lady Elizabeth’s true identity is revealed, leading to a dramatic climax and a satisfying resolution. ''Women’s Wit or Love’s Disguises'' is a classic example of Victorian-era theater, featuring witty dialogue, intricate plot twists, and a strong female lead.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
