The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
Regarded by critics as one of the greatest comedies of England’s Restoration Period, Congreve’s The Way of the World tells the story of Mirabell and Millamant, two lovers seeking marriage against the wishes of the latter’s aunt, Lady Wishfort. Knowing that they will not receive Millamant’s full dowry without the resentful Lady Wishfort’s blessing, the lovers go to enormous lengths to secure their inheritance and vindicate their love. A scathing satire that has thrilled audiences since its 1700 première, The Way of the World remains a timeless parody on love, happiness, and material gain.
