William Wycherley's four comedies are admired for their satirical wit,
farcical humor, vivid characterization, and social criticism. This
edition includes Love in a Wood, The Gentleman Dancing-Master, The

newly edited and are presented with modernized spelling and punctuation.
In addition, there is a scholarly introduction, a note on staging, and
