By George Hyde and Don Augustin Moreto

Book Overview

Love's Victory, or The School for Pride, is a comedic play written by George Hyde and first published in 1825. The play is set in the late 18th century and follows the story of two young lovers, Lord William and Lady Amelia, who are kept apart by their families' pride and prejudice. Lady Amelia's mother, Lady Frances, is determined to marry her daughter off to a wealthy suitor, while Lord William's father, Lord Fitzharding, is equally determined to see his son marry into a noble family.To achieve their goals, both parents enroll their children in a prestigious school for pride, where they are taught the art of arrogance and snobbery. However, the plan backfires when Lady Amelia and Lord William fall in love with each other and decide to rebel against their parents' wishes.The play is filled with witty dialogue, humorous situations, and a cast of colorful characters, including a French dancing master, a foppish dandy, and a wise old servant. Through their antics and schemes, the characters ultimately learn that love and humility are more important than wealth and status.Love's Victory is a classic example of a romantic comedy, and its themes of love, class, and societal expectations are still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
