By Anonymous

Book Overview

The Inconsolables or The Contented Cuckold is a dramatic farce in three acts, originally published anonymously in 1738. The play revolves around the character of Sir John, a wealthy and contented husband who discovers that his wife has been unfaithful to him. Despite the betrayal, Sir John remains surprisingly calm and composed, leading his friends and family to believe that he is either in denial or completely indifferent to the situation. As the play progresses, Sir John's stoic demeanor is put to the test as he navigates the various complications that arise from his wife's infidelity. Along the way, the audience is treated to a series of comedic misunderstandings, mistaken identities, and witty repartee, all of which serve to highlight the absurdity of the situation. Despite its age, The Inconsolables remains a popular and enduring work of English literature, beloved for its clever humor and timeless themes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
