{"product_id":"9780191517822","title":"Four Restoration Libertine Plays","description":"Thomas Shadwell, The Libertine *  George Etherege, The Man of Mode * Thomas Durfey, A Fond Husband  * Thomas Otway, Friendship in Fashion  These four plays in the Oxford English Drama series capture the range of responses to the fashionable and daring libertine movement in the second half of the seventeenth century.  A Fond Husband  and Friendship in Fashion  are lesser-known comic gems of the Restoration stage; The Man of Mode  is Etherege's masterpiece, and The Libertine  is Shadwell's experimental and dark version of the Don Juan story.  The texts are freshly edited using modern spelling. There is a critical introduction, wide-ranging annotation, and an informative bibliography which together illuminate the plays' cultural context and theatrical potential for reader and performer alike.  'The series should shape the canon in a number of significant areas.  A splendid and imaginative project.'
