The play is a comedy of manners that satirizes the upper-class society of late 18th century England. The plot revolves around the scandalous behavior of a group of wealthy aristocrats and their love affairs, gossip, and deceit. The main character, Sir Peter Teazle, is a wealthy bachelor who marries a young woman named Lady Teazle. However, she becomes bored with her husband and begins an affair with a younger man, causing chaos and scandal in their social circle. The play also features a subplot involving the rivalry between two brothers, Charles and Joseph Surface, over the affections of a young woman named Maria. L'Ecole Du Scandale is considered a masterpiece of English literature and is still performed today. It is known for its witty dialogue, complex characters, and biting social commentary.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
