The poet Bunthorne is extremely popular among his male and female peers. He's the object of desire for many maidens, although only one catches his eye. Patience is a milkmaid who is uninterested in Bunthorne's work or status. She wants to fall in love with a man, unselfishly, without fame or titles. She and Bunthorne make a rocky connection that may be doomed before it even begins. Meanwhile, the other women look for partners with varying success. \u003ci\u003ePatience; or, Bunthorne's Bride\u003c\/i\u003e is a brilliant commentary on the vanity of romance in art. Gilbert and Sullivan deliver earnest characters with strong views in absurdist situations. This is a unique narrative that fits a bold story in a two-act structure. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of \u003ci\u003e Patience; or, Bunthorne's Bride\u003c\/i\u003e is both modern and readable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA group of maidens compete for the affections of a popular aesthetic poet. \u003ci\u003ePatience; or, Bunthorne's Bride\u003c\/i\u003e, by \u003cb\u003eW.
