The Wedding Gown is a comedic play written by Douglas Jerrold and originally published in 1834. The play is set in 19th century England and follows the story of a young couple, Tom and Fanny, who are preparing for their wedding day. However, when Fanny's father, Mr. Broadside, insists on purchasing a lavish wedding gown for his daughter, chaos ensues.As the wedding gown is being made, it is accidentally swapped with a funeral shroud, leading to a series of misunderstandings and mishaps. The play explores themes of class, wealth, and societal expectations, as the couple and their families navigate the challenges of planning a wedding.Filled with witty dialogue and humorous situations, The Wedding Gown is a lighthearted comedy that offers a glimpse into the customs and traditions of 19th century England. Jerrold's writing is both entertaining and insightful, providing a commentary on the absurdities of societal norms and expectations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
