About this book

The Vicar of Wakefield is the 1766 novel by Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774), the Anglo-Irish writer whose career produced verse, drama, journalism, and one short novel that became a Georgian and Victorian classic. The book tells the story of the Reverend Dr. Charles Primrose, a country clergyman who loses his fortune through a banking failure and watches his family endure a chain of disasters including the seduction of his elder daughter and his own imprisonment. The novel ends with the restoration of fortune and the punishment of the villain. The Vicar of Wakefield was one of the most-translated English novels of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and was read across Europe by writers including Goethe, who praised it warmly in Dichtung und Wahrheit. The book remains the most widely-read work by Goldsmith. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.

About the author

Oliver Goldsmith

The Vicar of Wakefield, printed in 1766, turned the ruin of a country clergyman into a fable both comic and sentimental, and stayed in print for two centuries. Its author was born on 10 November 1728 in Ireland, either near Ballymahon in County Longford or at Elphin, County Roscommon, the son of an Anglican curate.
