Book Overview

Married Daughters and Young Husbands is a two-act comic drama written by John Daly and originally published in 1852. The play tells the story of two young couples, one newly married and the other engaged, who find themselves navigating the challenges of their relationships as they try to balance their own desires with the expectations of their families.The central conflict of the play revolves around the fact that both of the young women, who are sisters, are married to men who are significantly younger than they are. This age difference causes tension between the couples, as well as between the women and their parents, who disapprove of their daughters' choices.Throughout the play, the characters struggle to find a way to reconcile their own desires with the expectations of their families and society at large. They must navigate issues of class, gender, and age, all while trying to maintain their relationships and find happiness in their lives.Despite the serious themes of the play, Married Daughters and Young Husbands is also a comedic work, filled with witty dialogue and humorous situations. It offers a glimpse into the social norms and expectations of the mid-19th century, while also exploring timeless issues of love, marriage, and family.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
