| Abstract: | The Lucky Chance: orAnAlderman's Bargain (1686)1 by Aphra Behn (ca. 1640-1688) seems superficially typical of late Restoration Comedy in which there is a display of various levels of wit and a contest between an intelligent woman seeking the one honest man whocanjoin her in asserting the primacy of unsentimental love amidst a world of fools and knaves. Behn's comedy, however, is not simply the generic vision of hedonism that mocked narrow-minded Calvinism and especially ridiculed pedantic schol-arship, tight-fisted commercialism and prudish domesticity. |
