""The Maid of Bath"" is a three-act comedy written by Samuel Foote in 1778. The play is set in the city of Bath, England and follows the story of a young woman named Miss Kitty Prideaux. Miss Prideaux is a wealthy and beautiful heiress who is courted by several suitors, including a foppish dandy named Sir Charles Racket and a scheming lawyer named Mr. Worthy. However, Miss Prideaux is more interested in pursuing her own interests and enjoying the pleasures of Bath than settling down with a husband.

Foote uses humor and wit to poke fun at the pretensions and follies of the upper classes, particularly their obsession with fashion, gossip, and status.

Throughout the play, Foote uses witty dialogue, clever plot twists, and farcical situations to keep the audience entertained. ""The Maid of Bath"" was a popular success when it was first performed in London in 1778, and it remains a classic example of 18th-century English comedy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
