William Mountfort's Greenwich Park (1691), produced in the
aftermath of the Glorious Revolution, takes comic action to the
green spaces east of London where urbane rakes court witty young
ladies surrounded by a lively gallery including roistering
citizens, an adulterous wife and a charismatic kept mistress. This
first-ever critical edition offers a fully annotated modernized
text, together with an introduction analysing the processes of
evolution and transition articulated by this comedy on several,
interrelated levels: from the old hard comedy of the 1670s to the
new humane comedy of the early 1690s, from a glamorous view of
debauchery and excess to the more sober morals promoted by William
and Mary, and from the Town settings of Carolean comedy to the
suburbs.
