The author traces Dryden's theory of comedy through two main stages
of development, 1663-75 and 1675-1700. In the first stage, Dryden
conceives of ideal comedy as a heightened mixture of Jonsonian
humor and Fletcherian love and wit. In the second stage,
naturalness and satire become the key principles, and Shakespeare
becomes his primary model.
Originally published in 1963.
