"With piercing accuracy William Congreve depicted the shallow, brittle world of "society" where the right artifice in manners, fashion and conversationâand moneyâeased the passage to success. Through sparkling, witty dialogue and brilliant characterisationâLady Plyant, Valentine, Lady Touchwood, Mirabell and MillamantâCongreve exposed the follies and vanities of that world, and suggested that behind the glinting mirror lay something more brutal.
