About This Book

A light prose comedy centered on a family conflict over a daughter's attachment to a respectable but impoverished suitor; parents, relatives, and household attendants engage in humorous misunderstandings and strategic persuasion to reconcile love with social and economic expectations. The action relies on brisk exchanges, comic set pieces, and the contrast between formal manners and colloquial servant speech to explore themes of duty, reputation, and domestic prudence. This edition presents the dramatic text alongside critical commentary, a biographical notice, explanatory notes, exercises, and a vocabulary designed to aid readers approaching the original Spanish.
