No Wit No Help Like A Woman's is a play written by Thomas Middleton, a prominent English playwright of the Jacobean era. The play is a comedy that explores the themes of love, marriage, and gender roles in society. It centers around the character of Sir Thomas, a wealthy and arrogant man who is determined to marry his daughter off to a man of his choosing. However, his daughter, Mary, has other plans and is in love with a man named Wendoll. With the help of her maid, Jane, Mary sets out to outwit her father and marry the man she loves. Along the way, the play also features a cast of colorful characters, including a group of bawdy prostitutes and a scheming courtier named Bellamont. No Wit No Help Like A Woman's is a lively and witty play that offers a glimpse into the social norms and values of the Jacobean era.WEATHERWISE Marry, sir, I'll give it out abroad that I have lain with the widow myself, as 'tis the fashion of many a gallant to disgrace his new mistress when he cannot have his will of her, and lie with her name in every tavern, though he ne'er came within a yard of her person; so I, being a gentleman, may say as much in that kind as a gallant: I am as free by my father's copy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
