Synopsis
Oliver Goldsmith’s essays, poems and plays focus primarily on 18th century Enlglish society, social morals and human nature. He often wrote as a gentle social satirist, exploring everyday morality, the absurdities of fashion, the critique of literature, and the struggles of the working poor with warmth, elegance, and wit.
