William Wicherley Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)
William Wycherley was een Engelse toneelschrijver uit het tijdperk van de Restauratie, bekend om stukken als "The Country Wife" en "The Plain Dealer." Zijn werken kenmerken zich door scherpe geestigheid, briljante humor en een indringende verkenning van maatschappelijke normen en menselijke verlangens. Wycherley ving de essentie van zijn tijd meesterlijk, en zijn toneelstukken worden nog steeds geprezen om hun durf en literaire waarde.

The three plays collected here mirror the era after King Charles II. In Etherege's The Man of Mode, Dorimant meets his match. In Wycherley's The Country Wife, Horner fakes impotence to fool husbands into giving him access to their wives. In Congreve's Love for Love, the Valentine can win his beloved only if he loses his inheritance.
