In this classic 18th-century satire, a comedy of mixed identities results when Captain Jack Absolute's father announces that he wants to arrange a marriage for him...with the very same girl Jack has been secretly courting under an assumed name. The most hilarious scene-stealing character is Mrs. Malaprop, whose constant misuse of words led to the coining of the term "malapropism" after her name!

Awesome!!! I've wanted to read this for a long time now -- since college, where I learned about it for a theater history course, but never got to read it.
Also, is that a new background? It's nice!
