The Englishman Returned From Paris is a comedic play written by Samuel Foote in 1788. It is a sequel to his previous play, The Englishman in Paris, and follows the adventures of the same protagonist, Mr. Simple, as he returns to England after a disastrous trip to Paris. The play is a farce in two acts and is filled with witty dialogue, humorous situations, and exaggerated characters. Mr. Simple is a naive and gullible Englishman who is easily swindled by the French. He returns to England with a French wife, Madame Belgarde, who is more interested in his money than in him. The play satirizes the cultural differences between the English and French, as well as the social and political climate of the time. Foote uses comedy to comment on the corruption and greed of the upper classes, as well as the ignorance and naivety of the lower classes.Overall, The Englishman Returned From Paris is an entertaining and witty play that provides a humorous commentary on the society of the late 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
