Irreverent, licentious and cynical, the three plays collected here hold up a mirror to this dazzling era and satirize the gulf between appearances and reality. In Etherege's The Man of Mode (1676), the womanizing Dorimant meets his match when he falls in love with the unpretentious Harriet, while Wycherley's The Country Wife (c. 1675) depicts the rakish Horner who fakes impotence to fool trusting husbands into giving him easy access to their wives. And in Congreve's Love for Love (1695), the extravagant Valentine can only win his beloved Angelica if he loses his inheritance.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"books_spiral-background__TtCq_ books_secondary-bg__uSmph\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"books_review-author-section__Xz6sD\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"books_container__K63E6 container_full__wdr7R\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"books_inner-row__Fo7UV\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"books_item__DDaXp\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"Authors_wrapper__MdCaw\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Authors_container__gGMhv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Slider_slider-container__57VLZ\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slick-slider Slider_slick-slides__708oE slick-initialized\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slick-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slick-track\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-index=\"0\" class=\"slick-slide slick-active slick-current\" aria-hidden=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Authors_author-wrapper__AvVKt\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Authors_author-container__zrv36\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Authors_author-info__42tFJ\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/main\u003e\u003cfooter class=\"SiteFooter_wrapper__46CUW\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"SiteFooter_container__AcEcJ container_full__wdr7R\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"SiteFooter_footer-links__z6qQH\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"SiteFooter_navlinks-wrapper__V97RF\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"SiteFooter_newsletter__0rcxK\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"NewsletterSignup_wrapper__rmf2c NewsletterSignup_primary-inverse__nKWzX NewsletterSignup_left__JhMEg is-brand-penguin NewsletterSignup_restricted-width__Xzpug NewsletterSignup_no-image__q2UHi NewsletterSignup_in-footer__1KEAT\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"NewsletterSignup_wrapper-inner__drXiA\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"NewsletterSignup_legal-text__mYEze\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"SiteFooter_site-info__Piw_Y\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul role=\"list\" class=\"SiteFooter_flex-layout__X6kIN\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003csvg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" viewbox=\"0 0 90 45\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"SiteFooter_logo__Hh0Va\"\u003e\u003cdefs\u003e\u003cpath id=\"prh-logo-white_svg__prh-logo-white-a\" d=\"M.161.137h66.558v43.83H.161z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/defs\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/footer\u003e\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"Page_overlay__3MiE1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp aria-live=\"assertive\" id=\"__next-route-announcer__\" role=\"alert\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"onetrust-consent-sdk\" data-nosnippet=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"penguin classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52014250852673,"sku":null,"price":1200.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/3087\/9041\/files\/1_91c83bac-527c-4af8-a449-985c37d36b1d.webp?v=1784886735","url":"https:\/\/www.bookemporium.pk\/products\/three-restoration-comedies","provider":"The Book Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
