kiramay02's review against another edition
Slow to read and boring... read a plot summary instead

I wonder if this is where Frances Burney got the idea of giving her heroine multiple guardians who represent extremes of character, or if that was a common setup for humor and satire? It's interesting that although her guardians obviously have quite different interests and goals, they're united in not really caring how she might feel about any potential husband. Also some interesting religious commentary.

An 18th century satirical play which was actually a very enjoyable read -- the deceptions and witticisms are still comic to a modern audience.

The characters really make the play rather than the other way around.
