She Ventures and He Wins

first publication date:  1696
genre:  comedy

She Ventures and He Wins (1696) is a comedy in five acts written by a "Young Lady" under the pseudonym of "Ariadne". The author, who is referred to by most documents and historians by her pseudonym, caused an uproar between the theaters of the area. Ariadne is noted as writing with humor and wit that matches that of her contemporaries. The original manuscript mentioned it was an adaptation of a "small novel", which has since been discovered to be The Fair Extravagant by Alexander Oldys, an unknown story that had been almost unheard of since its publication. Much of the plot remains the same with detail, some plot points, and characters changed. The main character in the Oldys text's name is Ariadne. Source: Wikipedia (en)
