- Title
OUTSIDERS AND INSIDERS IN SHERIDAN.
- Authors
Thompson, James
- Abstract
This literary criticism considers the play "The School for Scandal" by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, comparing it to his other play "The Rivals." It argues that "The Rivals" uses the accepted plot line of a comedy, while "School for Scandal" is a satire with a cast of social outsiders including Jews, Nabobs, and inexperienced young women. Topics include chauvinism, the state of nature, and social classes.
