The Conscious Lovers is a five-act comedy written by Richard Steele. It was first performed in 1722 and is considered one of the most successful plays of the 18th century. The story revolves around the love affair between Young Bevil and Indiana, who are prevented from marrying by the machinations of their respective fathers. The play explores themes of love, duty, and class, and features a cast of memorable characters, including the scheming Sir John Bevil and the wise and loyal Cimberton. The Conscious Lovers is noted for its witty dialogue, clever plot twists, and its sympathetic portrayal of women. It remains a popular play to this day and has been adapted for film and television several times.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
