Dissertation
Courtship and marriage in Oliver Goldsmith's major works
1994
Overview
This study argues that Oliver Goldsmith's major fictional works focus on the conflict between family and selfish individualism. The works discussed are The Citizen of the World, The Vicar of Wakefield, The Traveller, The Deserted Village, The Good Natur'd Man, and She Stoops to Conquer. Taken individually or collectively, these works present the family as the most important and favorable social institution. Positive social characteristics, such as stability, order, cooperation, moderation, and common sense, distinguish the characters who belong to stable families. Courtship, marriage, friendship, and the home are essential components to forming stable and ordinary families. On the contrary, negative social traits, such as selfishness, extremism, and instability describe the negatively individualistic characters.
