Book Overview
The Peckham Frolic Or Nell Gwyn: A Comedy, In Three Acts (1799) is a play written by Edward Jerningham. The story is set in the 17th century and revolves around the life of Nell Gwyn, a prominent actress and mistress of King Charles II. The play follows Nell as she navigates her way through the tumultuous political and social landscape of the time, and deals with the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated society. It also explores her relationships with the king, her fellow actors, and her family. The play is a light-hearted comedy that offers a glimpse into the world of 17th century theater and the lives of the people who inhabited it. It was first performed in 1799 and has since become a classic of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
