Wily Beguiled (1922)

By Baldwin B 1893 Maxwell

Book Overview

Wily Beguiled is a play by John Day, William Haughton, and Richard Hathwaye, adapted by Baldwin Maxwell and first published in 1922. The play is a comedy of errors set in Renaissance Italy, and follows the exploits of two young men, Julio and Hippolito, as they try to win over their respective loves, Isabella and Infelice. Along the way, they encounter a host of other characters, including a scheming servant, a gullible old man, and a band of roguish soldiers. As the plot thickens and the misunderstandings pile up, the characters find themselves embroiled in a series of hilarious and increasingly absurd situations. With its witty dialogue, clever plot twists, and colorful cast of characters, Wily Beguiled is a classic example of Renaissance comedy and a delightful read for anyone who loves a good laugh.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
