Sinopsis:
Wealthy countryman Mr. Hardcastle arranges for his daughter Kate to meet Charles Marlow, the son of a wealthy Londoner, hoping the pair will marry. Unfortunately Marlow is nervous around upper-class women, yet the complete opposite around lower-class females. On his first acquaintance with Kate, the latter realises she will have to pretend to be common, or Marlow will not woo her. Thus Kate stoops to conquer, by posing as a maid, hoping to put Marlow at his ease so he falls for her
Acerca del autor: Oliver Goldsmith (c. 1730-1774) was an Irish writer, poet, and playwright whose work occupies a central place in eighteenth-century literature. Known for his essays, poetry, and drama, he contributed to the revival of comic theatre through works such as She Stoops to Conquer, which rejected the prevailing sentimental style in favour of a more robust and observational form of comedy. His writing is distinguished by its clarity, balance, and enduring engagement with social life and character.
