William Wicherley Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)
William Wycherley war ein englischer Dramatiker der Restaurationszeit, der vor allem für seine Stücke "The Country Wife" und "The Plain Dealer" bekannt ist. Seine Werke zeichnen sich durch scharfen Witz, brillanten Humor und eine aufmerksame Auseinandersetzung mit gesellschaftlichen Normen und menschlichen Begierden aus. Wycherley hat die Essenz seiner Zeit meisterhaft eingefangen, und seine Stücke werden bis heute für ihre Kühnheit und ihren literarischen Wert gefeiert.

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.
