This curated volume showcases seven of the most influential plays from Englands Restoration period (16601710), a time when theatre re-emerged with boldness and wit after years of suppression. Included are comedies and tragedies by literary giants such as John Dryden, William Wycherley, William Congreve, Thomas Otway, George Farquhar, Sir John Vanbrugh, and Sir George Etherege. These works reflect the vibrant theatrical revival of the era, marked by sharp social commentary, romantic entanglements, and satirical flair. With an introduction by Sir Edmund Gosse, this edition offers historical context and insight into the Restorations dramatic legacy ideal for collectors, students, and lovers of classic English drama.
