by Robert Sulivan

Book Overview

The Old Love and the New is a five-act comedy play written by Robert Sulivan. The story revolves around the character of Lord Norland, who is torn between his old love for Lady Caroline and his new love for the young and beautiful Miss Mildmay. Lady Caroline, who is now married to Sir Henry, still harbors feelings for Lord Norland and seeks to win him back. Meanwhile, Miss Mildmay's father, the wealthy Mr. Mildmay, disapproves of Lord Norland's reputation as a womanizer and tries to prevent the two from being together. As the story unfolds, the characters engage in a series of humorous misunderstandings and deceptions in their attempts to pursue their desires.
