Description

A Comedy in Four Acts by Alexander Nikolaevich Ostrovsky, Introduced and Translated by Herbert R Smith Jr., Ph.D. Includes 1875 original and 1878 revision. To a summer vacation spot outside of Moscow come a beautiful young woman and her uncle-he wants a husband for her. But she doesn't know it. Nor does she know that the uncle's lackey wants her for his own wife. The trio find an eligible young man and his mother-she wants someone he can marry. And he doesn't know it. The son has caught the eye of a less-than-young merchant's widow. He does know that and isn't at all flattered. A traditional comedy about circles of love? Hardly. This original English translation of Ostrovsky's 1875 work shows how the popular playwright transformed a tale of first-love and first-impressions into a poignant critique of nineteenth-century Russia and its values. Though Ostrovsky slightly tweaked most of his plays after premiers, he substantially revised this particular one-Rich Brides-thus providing a fascinating guide both to dramatic craftsmanship and dramatic vision. Together are the original and revised texts for comparison along with commentary and arguments providing perspective.
