We read several texts about a woman disguising herself this semester (12th night, Fantomina) but this one was probably my favorite. A quick and amusing read. I'd recommend watching a performance of it because the jokes land better when you see them acted out.

Loved the satire. Need to go back and read it again now that I have seen it in production.

I mean like, if the 18th century is your thing thats cool. This is not a much fun as _The Rivals_ but honestly its slim pickin's post Restoration in terms of English Drama so whatevs.
