About the author

Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith

d. 1774

Known for mixing wit, warmth, and sharp social observation, this 18th-century Irish writer gave the world the novel The Vicar of Wakefield, the poem The Deserted Village, and the comedy She Stoops to Conquer. His work moves easily between humor and feeling, which helps explain why it has lasted so long.
