This volume includes his comedic play "Limberham, or the Kind Keeper," along with other works such as "OEdipus" and "Troilus and Cressida." The text centers around themes of satire, relationships, and societal norms, intertwining humor with critique, reflective of the moral complexities of Dryden's time. At the start of this volume, "Limberham; or, the Kind Keeper" is introduced through an examination of its controversial reception and the scandalous subject matter it presents, involving themes of infidelity and the foibles of love. The opening scenes introduce key characters such as Woodall, a wayward son trying to conceal his identity from his father, and Limberham, the titular keeper, who embodies the shortcomings of courtly virtue. The dialogue unfolds in a boarding house setting, brimming with humor, misunderstandings, and predicaments as characters engage in witty banter, revealing their intentions and irksome complexities related to love and fidelity. Dryden's characters soon find themselves entangled in a humorous, scandalous chase between romance and the complications that follow. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
