This book explores the sources of the comedy, The Choleric Man, by investigating the external and internal evidence for the author's use of material from Terence's Adelphoe and Shadwell's Squire of Alsatia. The author provides a detailed comparison of the plays, examining characters, incidents, and dialogue, to demonstrate the influence of these earlier works on The Choleric Man. The analysis uncovers striking similarities between the characters and plotlines of the three plays, suggesting that the author of The Choleric Man drew heavily on both Adelphoe and The Squire of Alsatia for inspiration. The book also delves into the broader literary and historical context of these plays, providing insights into the evolution of comedic conventions and the social and cultural norms of the time. Through its meticulous examination of the source material and its exploration of the thematic depth of the plays, this book offers a valuable contribution to the understanding of The Choleric Man and its place within the history of comedy.
