Bøger i Plays by Renaissance and Restoration Dramatists 11 Volume Paperback Set serien

Even among the richly talented generation who wrote for the stage during the Restoration, Etherege was, from the start, considered to be a very special kind of innovator. This edition includes annotated texts of all three plays, prefaced by an account of Etherege's life and the reception of his plays on the stage and in criticism.

The continuing debate about John Webster's political, religious and philosophical attitudes, his formal skills and the importance of his plays for understanding the changing culture in which they were written, make him the most controversial of all Jacobean dramatists.
