Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The wittiest of a renowned playwright’s masterful comedies
A master of the comedy of manners, William Congreve was the most elegant of the Restoration dramatists. With piercing accuracy, he depicted the shallow world of “society,” where the right artifice in manners, fashion, and conversation—and money—eased the passage to success.
*?Also includes The Old Bachelor, The Double Dealer, and Love for Love

Like many reviewers I begin by noting Congreve is not Shakespeare. But he has nearly as much splendor and resonance, in a narrower vein, perhaps, but not less wonderful than much that the Bard wrote. 'Love for Love' is witty, urbane and silky smooth. The characters are stiffer than Shakespeare's, but Congreve writes to different conventions and uses them to reach us, his readers or viewers, more personally than one would think possible. Congreve reaches brilliant heights of humour and language. As usual, this Penguin edition is good quality and good value. If you know Congreve through other works, this is the writer at his best.... Enjoy.
