Music Mad

Music Mad: A Dramatic Sketch is a play written by Theodore Edward Hook and first published in 1808. The play is a satirical take on the obsession with music that was prevalent in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The story revolves around a young man named Tom who is completely obsessed with music and spends all his time playing and listening to it. His family and friends are concerned about his mental state and try to intervene, but Tom refuses to listen and becomes increasingly irrational. The play is a humorous commentary on the excesses of the music craze and the dangers of obsession. It is a short and entertaining read that provides a glimpse into the cultural attitudes of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
