William Mountfort’s Greenwich Park (1691), produced in the aftermath of the Glorious Revolution, takes comic action to the green spaces east of London where urbane rakes court witty young ladies surrounded by a lively gallery including roistering citizens, an adulterous wife and a charismatic kept mistress. This first-ever critical edition offers a fully annotated modernized text, together with an introduction analysing the processes of evolution and transition articulated by this comedy on several, interrelated levels: from the old hard comedy of the 1670s to the new humane comedy of the early 1690s, from a glamorous view of debauchery and excess to the more sober morals promoted by William and Mary, and from the Town settings of Carolean comedy to the suburbs.

Thomas Durfey’s Love for Money (1691) uses a boarding school in Chelsea as the setting for an amusing series of love intrigues. Characters include a long-lost heiress and her impoverished suitor, a mercenary jilt, a libertine rake with a touch of the gull, a bragging French coxcomb, and two hoydenish romps courted by fortune-hunting schoolmasters with treats of custard and cheesecake. An imperious plotting lady, together with her henpecked husband and her rascal lover, provide timely anti-Jacobite satire. This critical edition offers a fully annotated text and an introduction that places the comedy in its literary and theatrical context. The editors review Durfey’s career and his redefinition of the comedy of wit, veering towards the exemplary in line with the moral values of the new regime.
