Written in defiance of Jeremy Collier and the budding fashion forsentimental drama; this late Restoration comedy exposes the reformedrake Loveless to the temptations of London and the charms of a merrywidow; neither of which he is able to withstand. More memorable thanthe straying husband; however; is Restoration comedys ultimatefollower of fashion; Lord Foppington; who defends himself in theEpilogue by observing that no highwayman or Jacobite was ever welldressed. As the introduction to this edition argues; Sir John Vanbrugh- dramatist; architect and member of the influential Kit Cat Club -presents courtship and marriage not only with cynicism; but also withmoral bravery and social impudence; qualities not much in evidence inhis sentimental rivals.
