About the Book:
Richard Steele's The Conscious Lovers (1722) is a defining work in the sentimental comedy genre, a landmark in eighteenth-century English drama. Moving away from the wit and libertinism of Restoration theatre, Steele presents a world where love is guided by conscience, moral responsibility, and sympathy. The story revolves around Bevil Junior, who faces a conflict between his filial duty and his true love for Indiana, a woman of noble character but uncertain birth. Through a series of emotional conflicts, mistaken identities, and eventual recognition, Steele conveys that personal happiness and social harmony can be reconciled. The play explores the idea that true love is founded on honor and compassion. Celebrated in its time for its tenderness and moral depth, The Conscious Lovers transformed the English stage, making virtue both emotionally engaging and theatrically appealing. This edition from BOOK VALLEY brings a timeless classic to modern readers, offering a glimpse into the rise of sensibility and the ethical role of literature during the age of Addison and Steele.
