We will interpret a number of well-known Restoration plays to survey the typical dramatic genres of the time and to analyse the portrayal of gender stereotypes, social decorum and sexual politics. In addition, we will analyse the language and style, in particular the use of conceptual metaphors indicative of implicit assumptions and values, and the role of humour, and we will inquire whether there is a difference between male and female playwrights as regards style, character portrayal and attitudes towards gender and nationality.
