Synopsis

Marriage and its discontents lie at the heart of Restoration comedy. In each of the plays collected here, a married woman confronts her would-be seducer. Each dramatist, however, totally reinterprets that situation. Rich, inventive and diverse, these plays demonstrate the vigour with which the institution of marriage was examined in the post-1660 playhouses. The plays include The Soldier's Fortune , by Thomas Otway; The Princess of Cleves , by Nathaniel Lee; Amphitryon , by John Dryden; and The Wives' Excuse , by Thomas Southerne.
