Love in a Wood a lively comedy of intrigue established him as a brilliant new dramatist. The Gentleman Dancing - Master in contrast disappointed contemporary audiences but the central relationship between Hippolyta and Gerrard features an original and sympathetic study of a young woman's attitudes and feelings. The Country Wife is a sharp but also highly amusing attack on social and sexual hypocrisy. The Plain Dealer a powerful dramatic satire loosely based on Moliere's Le Misanthrope continues and enlarges Wycherley's assault on greed and corruption.
