| Summary | "The Impudent Comedian & Others" by Frank Frankfort Moore is a collection of stories written in the late 19th century. The book focuses primarily on the character of Nelly Gwyn, an actress navigating the complexities and intrigues of her life in the theater, which intersects with the royal court. The opening portion introduces readers to a lively exchange between Nelly and her mother, highlighting themes of ambition, identity, and the contrasting lives of people from different social strata. The opening of the work sets the stage for Nelly's character, who reflects on her rise from humble beginnings as an orange seller to a celebrated actress. As she converses with her mother, the tone is filled with wit and humor, revealing both the affection and tension in their relationship. Nelly's mother alludes to a past love, Dick Harraden, returning to her life unexpectedly, which sparks a mix of nostalgia and apprehension in Nelly. This initial encounter hints at deeper emotional entanglements and societal pressures, drawing readers into the intricate world of love and ambition that defines Nelly's existence, setting the tone for the delightful and dramatic tales that follow.
