The Welch Heiress

The Welch Heiress is a comedic play written by Edward Jerningham and first published in 1795. The play follows the story of a young Welsh heiress named Myfanwy, who is pursued by a number of suitors seeking her hand in marriage. Myfanwy, however, is more interested in pursuing her own desires and having fun than settling down with a husband. The play is set against the backdrop of the Welsh countryside and features a cast of colorful characters, including a group of bumbling Welshmen, a Frenchman with a penchant for poetry, and a scheming aunt who is determined to marry Myfanwy off to the highest bidder. The Welch Heiress is a lighthearted and entertaining romp that pokes fun at the conventions of society and the absurdities of courtship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
