Description

All for Love - John DrydenThe Country Wife - William WycherleyThe Way of the World - William CongreveVenice Preserv'd - Thomas OtwayThe Beaux Stratagem - George FarquharThe Provok'd Wife - Sir John VanbrughThe Man of Mode - Sir George EtheregeThe five comedies and two tragedies in this volume are a representative sampling of the most interesting and enduring plays of the Restoration period, and show a variety of moods current during the five exciting, sometimes frenetic, decades after 1660. A memorable cross-section of humanity appears in these plays: some characters are devoted to a worthy cause, whilst others are less than altruistic. All reveal unchanging characteristics of human nature.For this edition Robert G. Lawrence has provided a general introduction as well as individual introductions and end notes to the plays. Some revisions have also been made to the texts, and The Provok'd WIfe has been re-edited.
