The Family of Love charts a successful love intrigue between the
cash-strapped Gerardine, and Maria, the sequestered niece of the
mercenary Doctor Glister. Their romance unfolds against the
dissection of two citizen marriages, the Glisters' and the Purges'.
Mistress Purge attends Familist meetings independently, arousing
her husband's suspicions about her marital fidelity. Two
libertines, Lipsalve and Gudgeon, go in search of sex and
solubility (freedom from constipation), receiving more than they
bargain for in respect of the latter. This scholarly edition of
Family of Love marks the first occasion on which the comedy is
attributed to Lording Barry in print. It brings together literary
and historical discussion with a thorough analysis of the play's
disputed authorship. Tomlinson highlights Barry's rich vein of
burlesque humour in a comedy that combines magic, a trunk, and a
mock-court session with vigorous colloquial language. -- .
