SynopsisPlay script, including biographical notes, textual details and information about the staging of the play., New Mermaids are modernized, fully annotated editions of classic English plays. Each volume includes:..Modern spelling playtext..Textual notes recording substantive changes to the copytext and variant readings..Glossing notes elucidating obscure words and word play..Critical, contextual and staging notes . Photographs of productions where applicable..A full introduction which provides a critical account of the play, the staging conventions of the time and recent stage history., Written in defiance of Jeremy Collier and the budding fashion for sentimental drama, this late Restoration comedy exposes the reformed rake Loveless to the temptations of London and the charms of a merry widow, neither of which he is able to withstand. More memorable than the straying husband, however, is Restoration comedy's ultimate follower of fashion, Lord Foppington, who defends himself in the Epilogue by observing that no highwayman or Jacobite was ever well dressed. 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 with moral bravery and social impudence; qualities not much in evidence in his sentimental rivals.
