About this audiobook

A hilariously absurd parody of 18th-century melodrama follows two friends who navigate a series of ridiculous misfortunes with exaggerated emotion. This early work showcases a brilliant wit as it mocks the popular tropes of romantic sensibility and theatrical fainting spells. It is a spirited and irreverent look at the youthful genius of a literary icon.
