In the first half of the eighteenth century, a comic plot formula dramatizing the moral reform of a flawed protagonist emerged on the English stage. This title looks at reform comedies by dramatists such as Colley Cibber, Susanna Centlivre, Richard Steele, Charles Johnson, and Benjamin Hoadly in relation to emergent trends in finance capitalism.
