Editorial Reviews
Review
`The plays are expertly chosen and edited. Their edition is sure to become standard reading for teachers and students of the period.' Paulina Kewes, University College, Oxford, Review of English Studies, Vol. 48, No. 191, Aug '97
Product Description
Marriage and its discontents lie at the heart of Restoration comedy. In all four of the great plays collected here, a married woman confronts her would-be seducer. Each dramatist, however, reinterprets this situation in a novel way. Rich, inventive, and diverse, the plays demonstrate the vigor with which the institution of marriage was treated in the post-1660 playhouse.
