Duchess of Few Clothes: A Comedy is a play written by Philip Payne and first published in 1904. The story revolves around the character of the Duchess of Datchet, who is notorious for her lack of clothing. Despite her scandalous reputation, the Duchess is a beloved member of society and is sought after by many suitors. When the Duke of Datchet returns from abroad and discovers the state of affairs, he is determined to put an end to his wife's behavior. However, his plans are complicated by the arrival of a group of American tourists who are fascinated by the Duchess and her lifestyle. The play is a witty and satirical commentary on the excesses of the aristocracy and the changing social mores of the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
