''The Vicar of Wakefield'' is a novel by Irish author Oliver Goldsmith, first published in 1766. Considered one of the most endearing and enduring portraits of 18th-century domestic life, the novel blends sentiment with social satire, offering both a charming depiction of rural clergy life and a critical examination of contemporary mores.

The story follows the life of Dr. Charles Primrose, the titular vicar, and his family as they navigate a series of misfortunes and trials. Dr. Primrose is an amiable but naive man who loses his fortune due to the duplicity of a wealthy merchant. As a result, the family is forced to move to a more modest living situation in the country. The narrative unfolds as a first-person account by the vicar himself, detailing the virtues and vices they encounter in rural society, the challenges they face, and the lessons they learn about resilience, morality, and the importance of family.

Goldsmith's novel is notable for its exploration of themes such as the inherent goodness of people, the value of humility and patience, and the critique of the class system. It also delves into issues of marriage, wealth, and the role of religion in personal life. The Vicar of Wakefield is often praised for its vivid characters, particularly the benevolent but sometimes misguided vicar, and its engaging plot, which includes elements of romance, drama, and humor.

The book's publication history is of particular interest, as it was sold to the publisher by Samuel Johnson to help Goldsmith out of financial difficulty. It has since become a classic of English literature, admired for its warmth, wit, and insight into human nature. The novel has influenced many writers and has been referenced in various literary works. It remains a subject of academic study and is frequently included in discussions of 18th-century English novels and the development of the novel as a literary form.
