1670-1729. English dramatist and poet. His
first success was the comedy The Old Bachelor
1693, followed by The Double Dealer 1694,
Love for Love 1695, the tragedy The Mourning
Bride 1697, and The Way of the World 1700.
His plays, which satirize the social
affectations of the time, are characterized
by elegant wit and wordplay.
