First published in 1766, The Vicar of Wakefield remains a classic, chronicling the misfortunes of a hapless clergyman, Dr. Primrose, with warm humour and amiable social satire. When the vicar loses his fortune in a disastrous investment, his idyllic life in the country is shattered and he is forced to move with his wife and six children to an impoverished living on the estate of Squire Thornhill. Taking to the road in pursuit of his daughter, who has been seduced by the rakish Squire, the beleaguered Primrose becomes embroiled in a series of misadventures - encountering his long-lost son in a traveling theatre company and even spending time in a debtor's prison. Yet Primrose, though hampered by his unworldliness and pride, is sustained by his unwavering religious faith and, in the end, redeemed.
