Oliver Goldsmith – She Stoops to Conquer – The 100 Greatest Books Ever Written - Easton Press – 1978

Finely bound collector’s edition of Oliver Goldsmith’s celebrated 18th-century play She Stoops to Conquer, published by the Easton Press in 1978 as part of their series “The 100 Greatest Books Ever Written.” Elegantly bound in full navy leather with elaborate gilt designs to the spine and covers, raised bands, gilt page edges, and archival-quality paper. Includes illustrations by T. M. Cleland and an introduction by Louis Kronenberger.

Content and significance:
First performed in 1773, She Stoops to Conquer remains one of the great comedies of English literature. Its sharp wit, mistaken identities, and satirical take on class and courtship highlight Goldsmith’s mastery of the comic form. The play’s enduring appeal lies in its lively dialogue, clever plotting, and subtle critique of social conventions in Georgian England.
