The Vicar Of Wakefield
By Oliver Goldsmith
Published by The Folio Society: London 1971

" The Vicar of Wakefield is Oliver Goldsmith's enduring comic novel of domestic virtue, resilience, and moral optimism, first published in 1766 and long regarded as one of the great works of 18th-century English fiction. Told through the gentle, often ironic voice of Dr Charles Primrose, the story follows a country clergyman and his family as they face a series of misfortunes, social humiliations, and moral tests that expose both the follies and kindnesses of human nature. Goldsmith blends sentiment, satire, and quiet philosophical reflection, creating a narrative that is at once humorous, humane, and deeply rooted in Enlightenment ideals of benevolence and integrity.

This Folio Society edition, published in London in 1971, exemplifies the press's commitment to high-quality literary presentation, featuring elegant typography and evocative lithographs by Margaret Wetherbee that capture the novel's period charm and emotional nuance. The refined binding and illustration programme enhance the reading experience, making this edition as pleasing to the eye as it is to the mind. This volume would appeal particularly to collectors of Folio Society editions, admirers of 18th-century English literature, and readers who value classic novels presented in thoughtfully designed, illustrated formats.
