Oliver Goldsmith's hugely successful novel of 1766 remained for
generations one of the most highly regarded and beloved works of
eighteenth-century fiction. It depicts the fall and rise of the
Primrose family, presided over by the benevolent vicar, the
narrator of a fairy-tale plot of impersonation and deception, the
abduction of a beautiful heroine and the machinations of an
aristocratic villain. By turns comic and sentimental, the novel's
popularity owes much to its recognizable depiction of domestic life
and loving family relationships.
New to this edition is an introduction by Robert L. Mack that
examines the reasons for the novels enduring popularity, as well as
the critical debates over whether it is a straightforward novel of
sentiment or a satire on the social and economic inequalities of
the period and the very literary conventions and morality it seems
to embody. This edition also includes a new, up-to-date
bibliography and expanded notes, and contains reprints of Arthur
Friedman's authoritative Oxford English Novels text of the
corrected first edition of 1766.
About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has
made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the
globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to
scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of
other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading
