Book Synopsis The Plays of William Wycherley by : Peter Holland
Download or read book The Plays of William Wycherley written by Peter Holland. This book was released on 1981-07-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `Mr Wycherley is universally allowed the first place among the English comic poets who have writ since Ben Jonson. His Plain-Dealer is the best comedy that ever was composed in any language.' Yet in spite of the extreme praise many of his contemporaries accorded to his work, William Wycherley (1641-1715) is now only remembered for one play, The Country Wife. Even though The Country Wife is frequently performed by both amateur and professional companies (including a production at the National Theatre in 1977), Wycherley's three other plays, Love in a Wood, The Gentleman Dancing-Master and The Plain-Dealer, are rarely read and even more rarely performed. But Wycherley's satire is as sharp now as ever and his revelation of the follies and crimes of his society is still both wickedly funny and savagely perceptive.

Book Synopsis Delphi Complete Plays of William Wycherley (Illustrated) by : William Wycherley
Download or read book Delphi Complete Plays of William Wycherley (Illustrated) written by William Wycherley. This book was released on 2020-11-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late seventeenth century playwright William Wycherley produced satirical and comic masterpieces, winning the admiration of his fellow writers, including John Dryden and William Congreve, who described him as “appointed to lash this crying age.” Following the restoration of Charles II, dramatists experienced new freedom in an age that broke from the strict morality of puritan rule and in which elegance and wit became the most prized of virtues. Irreverent, cynical and licentious, Wycherley’s works illuminate the many vices of these colourful times, satirising the widening disparity between appearances and reality.
