The Misadventures of Captain Boscobel in Stewboro
A satirical tale follows half-pay Capt. Boscobel a government inspector of drawing in Stewboro as he schemes to land a flattering post at Somerset House. His schemes crumble when his private letters about a private and confidential investment reach Whinbury and then London, ending in his dismissal and a melodramatic fall from grace. The piece blends mock grandeur with social satire of clerical and bureaucratic circles in early modern Britain.
