Games and the Margins
Although gambling is traditionally associated with homosocial competition and with the prestige of the aristocratic ethos, Restoration comedies abound with examples of marginal characters at the gambling table.

Comedy and the Politics of Memory
Cet article reconsidère l’apparente stabilité des représentations des conflits des décennies 1640 et 1650 sur la scène comique de la Restauration, à travers l’analyse détaillée de deux exemples, The Committee (1662) de Robert Howard et The Souldiers Fortune (1681) de Thomas Otway.
