About the book

Richard Brinsley Sheridan's The School for Scandal is one of the great comedies of manners in English drama. The play centres on a group of fashionable characters who delight in gossip and damaging other people's reputations. Through mistaken appearances, secret motives and sparkling dialogue, Sheridan satirises hypocrisy, scandal and the difference between public image and true character.
