Book Overview

The Deserted Daughter: A Comedy is a play written by Thomas Holcroft in 1795. The story revolves around the character of Amelia Wildenheim, who is abandoned by her father and left in the care of her aunt and uncle. Amelia's father, a wealthy merchant, disapproves of her love for a poor artist and forces her to marry a wealthy but cruel nobleman. However, when Amelia's father dies, she is left with nothing and is forced to rely on the kindness of her former lover and his friends. The play explores themes of love, class, and the power dynamics between men and women in 18th century England. It is a witty and satirical work that offers a glimpse into the social and cultural norms of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
