Publisher's Synopsis

Congreve's Comedy Of Love For Love is a play that was written by William Congreve and was first published in 1695. The play is a comedy of manners that explores the themes of love, money, and social status. The story revolves around Valentine, a young man who is in love with his neighbor, Angelica. However, Angelica is a wealthy woman who is more interested in money than love. To win her heart, Valentine pretends to be poor and rejects her advances. Meanwhile, his father, Sir Sampson Legend, is trying to force him into a loveless marriage with a rich heiress, but Valentine is determined to marry for love. The play is filled with witty dialogue, mistaken identities, and clever plot twists that keep the audience engaged until the very end. Congreve's Comedy Of Love For Love is a timeless classic that continues to be performed and enjoyed by audiences 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.
