The Kiss: A Comedy, In Five Acts is a play written by Stephen Clarke and first published in 1811. The play revolves around the character of Sir John Vesey, a wealthy and respected baronet who is known for his love of socializing and his fondness for the ladies. Sir John is engaged to Lady Caroline Braymore, a beautiful and virtuous woman who is loved by all who know her. However, Sir John's roving eye is caught by the lovely and flirtatious Lady Mary, who is engaged to his friend, Lord Fitzharding. The play follows the antics of the characters as they navigate their way through the complicated web of love, lust, and social expectations. Along the way, there are mistaken identities, misunderstandings, and plenty of witty banter. The Kiss is a classic example of a Regency-era comedy of manners, with its focus on social etiquette, courtship rituals, and the intricacies of polite society. It is a light-hearted and entertaining read, full of humor and charm, that provides a glimpse into the world of the English aristocracy in the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
