| 520 | _a"A Select Collection of Old English Plays, Volume 11" by William Carew Hazlitt is a historical anthology of theatrical works compiled in the early 19th century. This collection revises and reorganizes old English plays, specifically focusing on engaging theatrical texts that showcase the art and context of early English drama. In particular, it features noteworthy works, including the play "A Woman is a Weathercock," written by Nathaniel Field, which illustrates the complexities of love and fidelity amid social expectations. At the start of this volume, the opening piece, "A Woman is a Weathercock," introduces us to Scudmore, who grapples with his tumultuous feelings towards Bellafront, a woman he loves but who is now marrying Count Frederick. The narrative unfolds with Scudmore expressing his heartache and betrayal upon learning of her marriage while reflecting on the nature of women and their perceived fickleness. As he navigates his despair, he interacts with his friend Nevill, who provides counsel while they both ponder the challenges of love, loyalty, and societal pressures. The scene is set for a dramatic exploration of relationships, revealing the ethical dilemmas faced by characters steeped in their desires and conflicting loyalties.
