This drama is artificial, irreverent, and bawdy - an example of the Restoration theatre as a violent reaction to the strict ordinance of the Commonwealth. This edition highlights the very varied critical interpretations to which this rich but episodic comedy has been subject, and makes a case for it as a psychologically astute and brilliantly executed comedy of courtship rituals.Detailed commentary notes are included alongside the play text for easy reference. There is also a list of further reading suggestions to aid research.This revised reprint edition has a new section on Recent Stage History and Critical Interpretation.
