From Royall Tyler's play "The Contrast" can you give a quote from the play that supports this answer I have written Historically, "The Contrast" displays the submit-Revolutionary War generation in America, a time whilst the country was looking for its identity separate from British influence. The play opinions the pretentiousness and superficiality of English society, whilst celebrating the authenticity and democratic spirit of American existence. It serves as a remark on the changing social landscape of America at some stage in the overdue 18th century.
