What is Restoration comedy? What pleasure does it offer its
audience, and what significance does it find in exploring that
pleasure? Edward Burns here provides a new account of the origins
and nature of Restoration comedy as a distinct genre. The book
enlarges the usual focus with a wider range of writers than the
conventional ossified canon taking in a revaluation of many rarely
studied dramatists, a reconsideration of pastoral, and the
instatement of women writers as major contributors to the culture
of the age. It offers a substantial and original interpretation of
one of the most intriguing of seventeenth-century literature forms.
