Le Mariage Clandestin: Comedie En Cinq Actes, written by David Garrick in 1768, is a play that tells the story of two young lovers, Fanny and Lovewell, who are prevented from marrying by Fanny's father, Sir John Melvil. Sir John wants Fanny to marry a wealthy nobleman, Lord Ogleby, who is much older than her and has a reputation for being a womanizer. Fanny and Lovewell decide to elope and get married in secret, but their plan is foiled by Sir John and Lord Ogleby, who conspire to stop them.The play is set in rural England and features a cast of colorful characters, including a group of farmers, a scheming lawyer, and a comically pompous nobleman. The plot revolves around the themes of love, marriage, and social class, and explores the tension between tradition and individual desire.Le Mariage Clandestin: Comedie En Cinq Actes is considered one of Garrick's most successful plays, and was widely popular in its time. It was praised for its witty dialogue, lively characters, and engaging plot, and remains a classic of English theater.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
