More DescriptionValentine Legend has amassed debts which he cannot satisfy. His wealthy father, Sir Sampson, offers to pay those debts providing Valentine releases all rights of inheritance to his younger brother, Ben. A racy comedy of mistakes, disguises and deceptions ensues, but with a sophisticated plot that develops themes of gender and sexual ethics in the late 1600s. The result is a Restoration comedy whose popularity has even exceeded that of Congreve's masterpiece, 'The Way of the World'.Although suitable for all readers, this larger print edition is particularly well-suited to school and university students and their teachers.
