The Belle's Stratagem: A Comedy in Five Acts by Hannah Cowley

3.0

So, I read the original version of this play from the 1700's with little to no editing done to it. This was definitely not a smooth, quick read. I did, however, enjoy the play. It has a lot going on involving marriage, disguises, British nationalism, complicated feelings of love. I recommend it if you're into this kind of thing. It isn't too challenging, and it is noteworthy as a British drama from the 18th century.
