| Jones's British Theatre Volume 6 is a collection of four plays written by various authors and first performed in the late 18th century. The plays included in this volume are The Man of the World by Charles Macklin, The True Born Irishman by Charles Macklin, Love a la Mode by Thomas Morton, and The Governess by Elizabeth Inchbald. The Man of the World is a comedy about a wealthy and cynical man named Sir Pertinax Macsycophant who manipulates those around him for his own gain. The True Born Irishman is a satire of Irish stereotypes and prejudices. Love a la Mode is a farce about a young couple who try to marry for love despite their parents' wishes. The Governess is a drama about a woman who becomes a governess to a wealthy family and must navigate the complex relationships and secrets of those around her. The plays in this volume were originally performed in London's theaters in the late 18th century and were popular with audiences of the time. They provide a glimpse into the social and cultural norms of the era and showcase the talents of some of the most prominent playwrights of the time. William Jones, the editor of this collection, was a prominent publisher and bookseller in London during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
