"The main interest of the play lies in its defense of Whig policies, by means of the historical parallel to Rome, thus showing why the Augustan Age was Augustan in politics as well as poetics. . . . Loftis's introduction is alone worth the purchase of the volume."-Choice

What is Restoration comedy? What pleasure does it offer its audience, and what significance does it find in exploring that pleasure? Edward Burns here provides a new account of the origins and nature of Restoration comedy as a distinct genre. The book enlarges the usual focus with a wider range of writers than the conventional ossified canon taking in a revaluation of many rarely studied dramatists, a reconsideration of pastoral, and the instatement of women writers as major contributors to the culture of the age. It offers a substantial and original interpretation of one of the most intriguing of seventeenth-century literature forms.
