The Croakers (1860)

The Croakers is a satirical play written by American author Joseph Rodman Drake and originally published in 1860. The play is set in New York City during the early 19th century and follows a group of cynical and pessimistic characters known as ""croakers"" who constantly complain about their lives and the state of the world around them. The play is a commentary on the social and political climate of the time, with a particular focus on the corruption and greed of the city's elite. Despite its critical tone, The Croakers is also a humorous and entertaining work, filled with witty dialogue and memorable characters. The play remains a classic of American literature and a testament to Drake's skill as a satirist and playwright.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
