Whimsical Opponents of Sentimental Comedy in Public Letters
A playful critic contrasts Drury Lane wit and Goldsmiths satire with the public love of sentimental pieces. The writer mocks the notion that true comedy must roar with laughter and rails at the so called refined wit of She Stoops to Conquer. He praises Meffink and condemns the Doctor, while defending a lively if coarse English humor and scorning possible prudish applause.
