Summary "A Select Collection of Old English Plays, Volume 09" by Robert Dodsley and W. Carew Hazlitt is a compilation of comedic plays originally published in the 18th century. This volume features a range of entertaining works, including "How a Man May Choose a Good Wife from a Bad," exploring themes of marriage, love, and courtship through humorous dialogue and engaging characters. The opening of this collection introduces the play "How a Man May Choose a Good Wife from a Bad," revealing a lively discussion between Young Master Arthur and Young Master Lusam regarding the merits and faults of Arthur's wife. Young Master Arthur expresses disdain for his wife despite her virtues, while Lusam tries to defend her honor. As the conversation unfolds, we also meet various characters including the fathers of the two young men, who engage in their humorous observations about marriage and the complexity of relationships. The dialogue is rich with wit, comedy, and a hint of foreshadowing that sets the stage for the unfolding drama concerning love, misunderstanding, and the desire for companionship.
