In it, the character Marplot brings utter confusion to a series of couples who are attempting to woo. Also in 1709, she wrote The Man's Bewitched, a play satirizing the squirearchy of Tory gentlemen in the country. 1716 saw her write The Cruel Gift with Nicholas Rowe, a tragedy, and she followed that with one of her bestknown plays, A Bold Stroke for a Wife in 1718.
