Landed Gentry: A Comedy in Four Acts
1913
Landed Gentry is a play by W. Somerset Maugham, first published in 1913, that examines the complexities of social class and morality in early 20th-century rural England. The story follows the Insoley family, particularly Claude Insoley, as they confront societal expectations and personal dilemmas, especially regarding the return of Claude's daughter, Peggy, from London under scandalous circumstances. The play highlights themes of reputation, the impact of scandal, and the tensions between social classes, reflecting the rigid moral codes of the time.
