Bought it for a class; picked it up before the class even started; and flew through it!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Developing the Comedic Genre in Restoration EnglandBy Diana HarlandDrydens "Marriage A-La-Mode" can be thought of as a Comedy of Manners play of the Restoration era but was actually written before the genre took true form and had a part in developing its eventual popularity. "Marriage A-La-Mode" satirizes the English Aristocracy and has the distinction of creating what became comedic typologies; especially in the character of Melantha. The separate storylines are only superficially interwoven though both are explicitly critical of aristocratic lifestyles and attitudes. If you like the genre of Restoration Comedy; Drydens "Marriage" is a good bet and without the over-complicated plots of Sheridan.4 of 19 people found the following review helpful.
