Classic Example of Restoration Comedy - Dialogue is Witty and EntertainingBy Michael WischmeyerRather unexpectedly; I found The Man of Mode (1676) to be entertaining comedy. Although quite popular for several decades; it began falling out of favor in the 1730s. A 1965 revival in Yorkshire was the first known production since 1793. For its humor George Ethereges play offers witty confrontations; the plot itself is not highly structured and the ending is uncertain.Through his easy wit and good nature; George Etherege; himself of more modest background; gained court favor during the Restoration period. He became a close associate of boisterous; young courtiers; wits; and rakes; especially the Earl of Rochester; Sir Charles Sedley; and the Duke of Buckingham. Playgoers apparently assumed that Etherege modeled his key characters upon these rakish aristocrats; although there was never agreement on their exact identity.The play begins as Mr. Dorimant; perhaps best described as an impulsive libertine with a good nature; is determining how to abandon his current mistress; Mrs. Loveit; without compromising his plans to gain the favors of her close friend; Bellinda. His strategy involves placing Mrs. Loveit in a situation that suggests that she has betrayed him for the attention of a recent arrival from France; a Sir Fopling Flutter. Complicating matters; a newcomer - a young; attractive; witty (and financially secure) woman named Harriet - exercises undue influence on Dorimant. Most inappropriately; Dorimant is falling in love.The Man of Mode is indeed a comedy of manners; but as is often the case with this genre there is a more serious undertone. Dorimant freely professes that the extravagant words and promises made in pursuit of love are no more meaningful than threats made in anger. By the mid-1700s public attitudes had shifted away from the looser morals of the Restoration period. Ethereges play was now roundly criticized as "a perfect contradiction to good manners; good sense; and common honesty". Even today this underlying moral issue may dilute the humor of the situation.The Man of Mode may be absent from the stage; but it is not difficult to find it in print. A good source is the Regents Restoration Drama series published by University of Nebraska Press and edited by W. B. Carnochan. The introduction is quite good. There is also a 12-page literary chronology spanning 1631-1737.New Mermaids has an edition edited by John Barnard. It offers a longer; more detailed introduction. An appendix contains the music for two songs found in the play.Another source is the Norton Critical Edition titled Restoration and Eighteenth-Century Comedy. Some two hundred pages of literary criticism were compiled by Scott McMillin. Some pertains directly to The Man of Mode.
