Description - The Rivals and Polly Honeycombe (1775,1760) by Richard Brinsley Sheridan

The Rivals and Polly Honeycombe revolve around young women who wish the world would conform to novelistic convention. Unlike most eighteenth-century novel-reading girls gone wild, however, the heroines of these plays are neither deluded nor in any real danger. Rather, they inhabit a world in which everyone is engaged in some sort of quixotic performance; the more appealing characters are just willing to admit it.
