- Summary
- "Two aspects of libertinism, the lubricious and the learned, found expression in the sex comedies written during the 1670s and early 1680s, a time when London theatre was unfettered by morality. The four plays in this volume capture the gamut of contemporary reactions to libertinism, from the outraged disapproval of Thomas Shadwell's sprawling, experimental The Libertine (1675), to the cool acquiescence of Sir George Etherege's brilliant comedy, The Man of Mode (1676), the cheerful assent of Thomas Durfey's rollicking farce, A Fond Husband (1677), and the moody forebodings of Thomas Otway's darkly comic tale of marital warfare, Friendship in Fashion (1678)."--Jacket.
