Oliver Goldsmith was indisputably one of the most notable and praised literary personalities of the 18th century, who was recognized for his exceptional adaptability in being a novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, and social commentator all at the same time. After his birth in the countryside of Ireland and getting his degree from Trinity College Dublin, he made his way back to London through a long trip across Europe where he lived his literary life among the leading minds of the Georgian era. Goldsmith’s name was first associated with works that were very much a mixture of humor, deep understanding of humanity, and country life, such as The Vicar of Wakefield, The Deserted Village, The Traveller, and the never-fading farce She Stoops to Conquer. The clarity and charm of his writing put him not only in the center of sentimental literature but also made him an early adopter of Romanticism. He has left such a strong mark through his characters and themes that, to a great extent, modern storytelling is influenced by him, and thus his presence in the English literature history is nothing less than pivotal.
