Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating exploration of the comedic play Popping the Question by John Baldwin Buckstone. First performed in 1830, this one-act farce centers around Mr. Primrose, an elderly bachelor who finds himself smitten with his ward, Ellen Murray. However, unbeknownst to him, Ellen is already engaged to Henry Thornton, who manages to hide in the house to avoid detection. As the author delves into the characters' attempts to navigate these romantic entanglements, this book provides valuable insights into the broader context of courtship, marriage, and the societal pressures of the era. With humor and wit, the author presents a thoughtful examination of human relationships and the complexities of love and deception in the Victorian society of England.
