		With little doubt, The Vicar of Wakefield is Oliver Goldsmith’s most enduring novel.
		The novel follows the vicar’s fruitless quest to find his daughter, his accidental discovery of his son George, and the wretched Thornhill’s vulgar treatment of women.
		The moral tale is notable for Primrose’s strength of character in times of great difficulty and for its rejection of the ostentatious style of other novels of the time.

		From the time he was a boy, Oliver Goldsmith was known for two things: his facility with verse, and his ugliness.
		"The Vicar of Wakefield", particularly, is nostalgic about Goldsmith's family home in Ireland, portraying the rural idyll in evocative prose, although it is curious to many that once he left Ireland after graduating from Trinity College in Dublin, he never returned.
		Instead, he lived in England, eventually setting himself up as a doctor, although it appears he did not bother with the formality of obtaining a license.
