Wycherley's four comedies are admired for their satirical wit,
farcical humour, vivid characterization, and social criticism.Love
in a Wood, a lively comedy of intrigue, established him as a
brilliant new dramatist.The Gentleman Dancing-Master, in contrast,
disappointed contemporary audiences, but the central relationship
between Hippolyta and Gerrard features an original and sympathetic
study of a young woman's attitudes and feelings. The Country Wife
is a sharp but also highly amusing attack on social and sexual
hypocrisy. The Plain Dealer, a powerful dramatic satire loosely
based on Moliere's Le Misanthrope, continues and enlarges
Wycherley's assault on greed and corruption. Under the General
Editorship of Michael Cordner of the University of York, the texts
of the plays have been newly edited and are presented with
modernized spelling and punctuation. In addition, there is a
scholarly introduction, a note on staging, and detailed annotation.
