Description
The Beggar of Bethnal Green is a comedic play written by James Sheridan Knowles. The play is divided into three acts and is set in the early 17th century in the East End of London. It tells the story of a poor beggar named William, who lives with his wife and daughter in Bethnal Green. Despite their poverty, William and his family are happy and content with their simple life.One day, William's daughter catches the eye of a wealthy merchant, who offers to marry her. William and his wife are thrilled at the prospect of their daughter marrying into wealth, but their happiness is short-lived when they discover that the merchant is only interested in their daughter's beauty and has no intention of treating her well.Determined to protect their daughter, William and his wife devise a plan to teach the merchant a lesson. With the help of their friends and neighbors, they trick the merchant into thinking that William is a wealthy man and convince him to give them a large sum of money as a dowry for their daughter's hand in marriage.The play is a lighthearted and entertaining comedy that explores themes of love, family, and social class. It is a timeless tale that continues to resonate with audiences today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
