The Comedy of Manners

First published in 1970, the introduction distinguishes between the Comedy of Manners and other types of comedy and traces its origins in English and French literature, then chapters on the major writers - Etherege, Dryden, Wycherly, Congreve, Vanbrugh, Farquhar - and on Jeremy Collier's attack on the immorality and profaneness of the plays.
