Le Vicaire de Wakefield by Oliver Goldsmith
"Le Vicaire de Wakefield" by Oliver Goldsmith is a novel written between 1761 and 1762 and published in 1766. The story follows the Primrose family as they fall from wealth and happiness into hardship and social disgrace through unexpected misfortunes. Dr. Charles Primrose, a virtuous country vicar, must maintain his faith and integrity while facing financial ruin, deception, and family crises. Goldsmith uses satire and comedy to expose the hypocrisy of the
upper classes while celebrating the resilience of simple, virtuous living. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
