Book Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.

Book Description
"The Busie Body" is a comedy play written by the English playwright Susanna Centlivre. It was first performed in 1709 and quickly became one of Centlivre's most popular and enduring works. The play revolves around the character of Marplot, a well-meaning but bumbling busybody who inadvertently causes chaos and confusion as he meddles in the romantic affairs of others. Marplot's interference disrupts the plans of several couples, leading to a series of comic misunderstandings and mishaps. At the heart of the plot is the love story between Miranda and Sir George, whose relationship is threatened by Marplot's interference. As Marplot becomes increasingly entangled in their affairs, the other characters must navigate his well-intentioned but disastrous meddling in order to achieve their own romantic goals.
