About this title

Synopsis

""The Man of Mode or Sir Fopling Flutter"" is a comedy play written by George Etherege and first performed at the Duke's Theater in 1676. The play revolves around the character of Dorimant, a notorious womanizer and socialite, who is torn between his love for the virtuous Harriet and his desire for the fashionable and shallow Lady Woodvill. Along the way, he is aided by his friend, the dandy Sir Fopling Flutter, who serves as a foil to Dorimant's more sophisticated and nuanced character. The play is a satirical look at the manners and social customs of Restoration England, and features witty dialogue, intricate plotting, and a cast of memorable characters. Despite its initial success, the play fell out of favor in the 18th century and was not revived until the 20th century, when it was rediscovered and appreciated for its literary and historical significance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
