Marriage and its discontents lie at the heart of Restoration comedy. In all four of the great plays gathered here, a married woman confronts her would-be seducer. Each dramatist, however, totally reinterprets the situation. Thomas Otway's The Soldier's Fortune converts adultery into political revenge. Nathaniel Lee's The Princess of Cleves offers a potent and perplexing portrait of a libertine in action at the sixteenth-century French court. John Dryden's Amphitryon, set in ancient Thebes, retells the story in which Jupiter lures the virtuous Alcmena into cuckolding her husband by a stratagem that throws into doubt the very nature of human identity. Thomas Southerne's The Wives' Excuse reinvents, for the new circumstances of the 1690s, the familiar Restoration plot of a wife spurred towards infidelity by her partner's failings. All of the plays have been newly edited and are presented with modernized spelling and punctuation.

Today's military is a military of families. A high proportion of service members are married and have children, and many of their spouses work and contribute to family income. This book examines whether the wives of military personnel have been able to benefit from the general improvement in opportunities available to women in the workplace, or whether their role as military wives has impeded their potential opportunities. The authors provide an analysis of the various forces affecting military wives' employment and earnings, and hence their ability to contribute to family income and establish their careers. The findings provide a factual basis for the role of military wives as members of military families, and will be of interest to policymakers involved in personnel issues as well as specialists in gender and family studies.
