''The Plain Dealer, The Country Wife, The Gentleman Dancing Master, Love In A Wood Or St. James�������s Park: Comedies'' is a collection of four plays written by the English playwright William Wycherley and published in 1713. The plays are all comedies and were written during the Restoration period in England, a time known for its bawdy and often scandalous theatrical productions.''The Plain Dealer'' is a satire of the society of the time, with the main character, Manly, representing the ideal of a plain-spoken, honest man in a world of deceit and hypocrisy. ''The Country Wife'' is a ribald farce about a man who pretends to be impotent in order to seduce women, while ''The Gentleman Dancing Master'' is a lighter comedy about a dancing master who falls in love with his pupil.''Love In A Wood Or St. James�������s Park'' is a romantic comedy set in the titular park, where a group of lovers scheme and plot to win the hearts of their desired partners. All four plays are notable for their use of witty dialogue, sexual innuendo, and social commentary, and are considered important works in the canon of Restoration literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
