Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of love and marriage in 18th century England, using witty dialogue and humorous situations to explore the prevailing societal views of the time. The author, through a series of comical encounters between various characters, satirizes the hypocrisy of social conventions, the absurdity of the pursuit of wealth, and the often-contradictory nature of human desires. The story centers on a man named Granger who is determined to marry the learned and haughty Sophronia, despite her apparent lack of interest in him. His relentless pursuit of her, fueled by a combination of genuine attraction and a desire to conquer her intellectual pride, creates a series of amusing encounters that highlight the societal pressures and expectations placed upon both men and women in this era. Through this engaging narrative, the author sheds light on the clash between reason and emotion, and the intricate ways in which individuals negotiate their identities within a system of social norms and hierarchies. This book provides a sharp and insightful commentary on the foibles of human nature, offering a timeless exploration of the enduring themes of love, marriage, and the pursuit of happiness.
