Thomas Durfeys Love for Money (1691) is a delightful work of literature that takes place within the confines of a boarding school in Chelsea. Within this setting, a series of captivating love intrigues unfold, featuring a diverse range of characters. Among them are a long-lost heiress and her impoverished suitor, a mercenary jilt, a libertine rake with a hint of gullibility, a boastful French coxcomb, and two mischievous romps who are pursued by fortune-hunting schoolmasters, who offer them delectable treats such as custard and cheesecake in exchange for their affection. Adding to the intrigue, an imperious plotting lady, along with her henpecked husband and her rascal lover, serves as a timely source of anti-Jacobite satire. This critical edition presents a fully annotated text, accompanied by an introduction that contextualizes the comedy within the literary and theatrical realms of its time. The editors also offer a comprehensive review of Durfeys career, highlighting his evolution as a writer and his redefinition of the comedy of wit, which gradually shifted towards the exemplary, aligning with the moral values of the new regime.
