Book Overview
This is above all, an indictment of arranged marriages. Young Leticia Bredwell has been purchased as a bride for the revoltingly foppish old Sir Feeble Fainwood. Feeble's friend, Sir Cautious Fulbank, also bought himself a bride, Julia, who-like Leticia, is in love with another younger, poorer man. The women and their lovers determine to end this tradition of marital servitude before Leticia must consummate her marriage and Feeble's daughter, Diana, becomes the next victim.

The Lucky Chance
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The Lucky Chance is a Restoration comedy which has been underperformed for over 250 years. Its author, Aphra Behn (1640-1689), the first professional woman playwright, was a prolific writer who enjoyed great acclaim in her own lifetime, but whose work has been neglected since the eighteenth century. The Lucky Chance is a hugely comic play which deals in clandestine affairs, infidelities, love and marriage. --- from book's back cover
