Book Synopsis
William Wycherley (16411715) is now only remembered for one play, The Country Wife. But Wycherley's satire is as sharp now as ever and his revelation of the follies and crimes of his society is still both wickedly funny and savagely perceptive.

1. Love in a Wood; 2. The Gentleman Dancing-Master; 3. The Country Wife; 4. The Plain-Dealer.
