Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Humorous Lieutenant" by John Fletcher is a tragicomedy written in 1619. Set in the ancient Middle East after Alexander the Great's death, the play follows Prince Demetrius's love for a mysterious young woman named Celia amid political intrigue. The title character provides comic relief as a fierce warrior who transforms into a profound hypochondriac outside battle. Praised as "Fletcher's best comedy," this original plot weaves historical figures like Antigonus and Seleucus into a tale of romance, war, and unexpected revelations.
