Four Great Restoration Comedies
by William Wycherley
Highlights
Synopsis
When England's theaters reopened in 1660, 18 years after being closed by an act of Parliament, audiences embraced the witty and satirical dialogue spoken by "plain folks" characters—it was a new era in drama.
The four comedy classics featured in this one convenient collection are typical of the works popularized during one of the most exciting and innovative periods in English theater.
Brimming with bawdy and satirical comedies and rampant with notorious womanizers, amorous adventure, and marital discord are works by William Wycherley (
The Country Wife
), Sir George Etherege (
The Man of Mode
), Aphra Behn (
The Rover
), and Sir John Vanbrugh (
The Relapse
).
