Royall Tyler's The Contrast is a classic comedy of manners that revolves around the lives of two main characters, Jonathan and Maria, who are navigating the complexities of love and society in late 18th-century America. Written in a prose style characteristic of the period, the book offers a witty and satirical take on the manners and mores of the time, providing a window into the social norms and values of the era. The Contrast is a delightful portrayal of the clash between old-world traditions and emerging American identity, making it a timeless piece of American literature.
