Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gulling of dupes, the seduction of women, the practices of sharpers and rogues-the idiom of the bustling, bawling metropolis dominates these plays. London and it's court appeared to these dramatists as a striking and comprehensive image of human appetite and folly. However, though satire may dominate, the moralist's censure is often tempered by an affection for the richness and variety of urban life.
