The volume offers a representative sampling of many of the
different types of play put on in the period (sex comedy, moral
comedy, heroric drama, Shakespearean adaptation and political
history) At the same time, the even distribution of the plays
throughout the period encourages students to refelct on the
development of the drama over the full fifty years covered by thte
anthology. It includes plays by both men and women, as well as
dramatic ripostes such as "The Rehearsal" and "The Relapse," which
evoke so vividly the adversarial and dialectical world of the
theatre in the second half of the seventeenth century.
