The three plays collected here mirror the era after King Charles II. In Etherege's The Man of Mode, Dorimant meets his match. In Wycherley's The Country Wife, Horner fakes impotence to fool husbands into giving him access to their wives. In Congreve's Love for Love, the Valentine can win his beloved only if he loses his inheritance.
