Anything For A Quiet Life is a play written by Thomas Middleton, an English playwright from the Jacobean era. The play centers around a wealthy merchant named Jasper, who is desperate to maintain his status and reputation in society. To achieve this, he goes to great lengths to control his family and their relationships, even going so far as to arrange marriages for his daughter and niece. However, his plans are complicated by the arrival of a group of con artists, who threaten to expose his secrets and ruin his carefully constructed facade. The play explores themes of greed, power, and the lengths people will go to maintain their social standing. With its intricate plot and complex characters, Anything For A Quiet Life is considered one of Middleton's most accomplished works.Knavesbee I Had Last Night One Of The Strangest Dreams;methought I Was Thy Confessor, Thou Mine, And We Reveal'd Between Us Privately How Often We Had Wrong'd Each Other's Bed Since We Were Married.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
