内容简介 One of the greatest of all Restoration comedies, this knowing comedy of manners depicts the scheming of a nest of shallow, deceitful aristocrats to prevent two lovers from marrying. The play abounds with felicitous phrasing, delicious verbal battles of the sexes and a depth of feeling and sensitivity that elevate it far above other plays in the genre. This inexpensive edition, complete and unabridged, makes it widely available to today’s readers. Note. New footnotes. "Commendatory Verses" by Sir Richard Steele.
作者简介 William Congreve
--This text refers to the Paperback edition. 编辑推荐 Review Comedy of manners in five acts by William Congreve, performed and published in 1700. The play, which is considered Congreve's masterpiece, ridicules the assumptions that governed the society of his time, especially those concerning love and marriage. The plot concerns the efforts of the lovers Millamant and Mirabell to obtain the permission of Millamant's aunt for their marriage. Despite a scheme that goes awry and after several misunderstandings are cleared up, the two finally obtain her consent. --
