| Publisher 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. |
