«Three Restoration Comedies» is the anthology by George Etherege, William Wycherley and William Congreve (Penguin Classics, paperback, 368 pages, in English).
This anthology brings together three Restoration comedies: «The Man of Mode», by Etherege; «The Country Wife», by Wycherley; and «Love for Love», by Congreve. These plays satirize appearances and social conventions with wit: a seducer meets his match, a libertine feigns impotence, and a spendthrift risks his inheritance for love.
The edition belongs to the English Library collection. The three works date from 1676, around 1675 and 1695, respectively.
For lovers of classical theatre and seventeenth-century English literature, with an interest in social satire and the wit of the era.
William Wycherley was an English playwright best known for writing the plays The Country Wife (1675) and The Plain Dealer (1676).
