      ab: A literary criticism is presented on the comedy "The Rivals," by Richard Brinsley Sheridan. The book's depiction of the British government's response to crises in the early 1770s, including the social unrest within Great Britain's American colonies, is discussed. The play's use of allegory, so as to suggest British policy changes towards its American colonies, is also discussed. The often article references the professor Lauren Berlant's perspective on fantasy to critique "The Rivals."
