Cloth. Zustand: Very Good Indeed. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good Indeed. Two Restoration comedies from William Congreve, 'The Way of the World' and 'Love for Love'. William Congreve wrote some of the most popular English plays of the Restoration period of the late 17th century. By the age of thirty, he had written four comedies, including 'Love for Love' (1695) and 'The Way of the World' (1700), and one tragedy, 'The Mourning Bride' (1697). Unfortunately, his career ended almost as soon as it began. After writing five plays from his first in 1693 until 1700, he produced no more as public tastes turned against the sort of high-brow sexual comedy of manners in which he specialized.
