Description

This anthology gathers the full range of Oliver Goldsmith’s celebrated output, from lively stage comedies to earnest novels, thoughtful essays and tender poetry. Listeners can explore each work through an easy‑to‑navigate layout that lets you jump straight to the piece that intrigues you, while enjoying smooth narration that honors Goldsmith’s clear, graceful prose.

Among the highlights, the sparkling farce “She Stoops to Conquer” introduces a cast of clever servants and bewildered gentlemen, setting the tone for witty misunderstandings. The novel “The Vicar of Wakefield” follows a kindly clergyman whose family faces a cascade of gentle hardships, offering both humor and heartfelt reflection. Goldsmith’s “History of Rome” presents a concise overview of the city’s rise, blending geographic insight with vivid storytelling. The collection also includes his beloved poems, such as the melancholic “The Deserted Village,” and a complete selection of his lyrical work.

Together these pieces form a vivid portrait of an 18th‑century mind, inviting listeners to experience Goldsmith’s blend of humor, compassion and keen observation in one convenient volume.
