The Comic Spirit In Restoration Drama: Studies In The Comedy Of Etherege, Wycherley, Congreve, Vanbrugh And Farquhar is a book written by Henry Ten Eyck Perry. The book is a comprehensive study of the comic spirit in Restoration drama, exploring the works of five major playwrights of the period: George Etherege, William Wycherley, William Congreve, John Vanbrugh, and George Farquhar. The author examines the themes, characters, and techniques used by these playwrights to create their unique brand of comedy. Perry argues that the comic spirit in Restoration drama is characterized by its wit, cynicism, and satire, and that it reflects the social and cultural values of the period. The book also includes detailed analyses of several key plays, including The Man of Mode, The Country Wife, The Way of the World, The Relapse, and The Beaux' Stratagem. Overall, The Comic Spirit In Restoration Drama is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and development of English comedy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
