Concentrating on plays from the heyday of 16601737, it focuses especially on Restoration drama proper (16601688) and Revolution drama (16891714), with a smaller selection of plays from the early Georgian period (17151737) and a glimpse at the later Georgian periods laughing comedy (1770s and 80s). It includes nine subgenres (heroic romance, political tragedy, personal tragedy, tragicomic romance, social comedy, subversive comedy, corrective satire, menippean satire, and laughing comedy), with the preponderance of exposure given to the jewel of this theatre, its comedy.The core canonical plays from the erafrom Drydens All for Love and Behns The Rover to Congreves The Way of the World and Sheridans School for Scandalare all here, but so are a remarkably wide range of noncanonical works. There are many more plays by women than in any previous general anthology of drama of the period. Also included are a number of works from the neglected 1660s, whose comedies feature delightful, subversive, levelling folk elements. In all there are fortyone plays; each is fully annotated and prefaced with an historical introduction. Also included are a general introduction, headnotes for each genre, and a glossary.
