This book is a collection of sixteen British comedies dating from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The works are chosen in chronological order and include a multitude of different versions of comedy, including broad humour, stark humour, heavy social satire, urban and class comedy of wit, and melodrama. The narrative joining the presentation of these works is both analytical–simply trying out a plausible account of what happens in the tale–and 'critical'–digging into the embedded assumptions of the play, and its role as a social action. Room is left, in each part of the analysis, for lateral discussion on issues contemporary to Elizabethan culture (like Shakespeare's comedies) or to the culture of our own time.

Frederic Will, a writer and professor, is currently President of The Humanities Institute, a graduate institute offering advanced degrees in the Humanities. His current projects include a study of film and literature, dissecting the interrelation between these two forms of expression, and essays on the evolution of theatrical expression from Ancient Athens to Ibsen and Brecht. His additional literary actions, which have been archived since the early sixties in the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas, include a wide literary correspondence, manuscripts of poems and fictions, and culture notes of an observant American, who is approaching a century on the planet.
