Wakefieldin kappalainen
Translated by Samuli Suomalainen
"Wakefieldin kappalainen" by Oliver Goldsmith is a sentimental novel published in 1766. The story follows the Primrose family's dramatic fall from prosperity to hardship after financial ruin cancels a wedding and forces them to relocate. Under their new landlord, the charming but duplicitous Squire Thornhill, the virtuous family faces deception, scandal, and mounting troubles. Through satire and comedy, Goldsmith exposes upper-class hypocrisy while celebrating Christian virtue and resilience in this influential tale of loss and redemption.
