	The Country Wife - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Country Wife is a Restoration comedy written in 1675 by William Wycherley.
		Between 1753 and 1924, The Country Wife was considered too outrageous to be performed at all and was replaced on the stage by David Garrick's cleaned-up and bland version The Country Girl, now a forgotten curiosity.
		During its long banishment from the stage, The Country Wife continued a shadowy existence in the form of David Garrick's cleaned-up version The Country Girl (1766), where Margery is a virgin and Horner her romantic lover.

	GradeSaver: The Country Wife Essay: Let it be Decieved: Deception in The Country Wife and The Conscious Lovers
		The Country Wife is a typical stage comedy; most of the characters, including the protagonist, are humorous, flawed people who wish to hide their faults from others.
		Pinchwife, for example, makes his wife sit with the prostitutes in the theatre, so that nobody will think her married to him, and that is precisely when Horner first sees her.
		The characters in The Country Wife may be unscrupulous, and we may be so for laughing at them, but the play teaches us to expect no better of ourselves.

		One, The Country Wife, might be said to epitomise the Restoration (though Philip Prowse has updated the costumes some 20 years or so) and the other, The Importance of Being Earnest is the quintessence of the fin-de-siecle.
		They are alike in this; that their very artificiality is in itself a pungent comment on the manners and morals of the period in question.
