"An Evening's Love; or, The Mock Astrologer" by John Dryden is a delightful comedy that offers audiences a charming blend of wit, romance, and mistaken identities. Set in Restoration-era London, the play follows the antics of its colorful characters as they navigate the world of love, courtship, and fortune-telling. At the heart of the story is the Mock Astrologer, a whimsical figure who uses his supposed powers to manipulate the romantic affairs of those around him. As the plot unfolds, secrets are revealed, hearts are broken, and true love triumphs in unexpected ways. With its lively dialogue, clever wordplay, and playful satire of society's foibles, "An Evening's Love" is a testament to Dryden's skill as a playwright and his ability to entertain and delight audiences. Through its witty repartee and comedic situations, the play offers a humorous reflection on the timeless themes of love, deception, and the search for happiness.

The Critical Heritage gathers together a large body of critical sources on major figures in literature. Each volume presents contemporary responses to a writer's work, enabling students and researchers to read for themselves, for example, comments on early performances of Shakespeare's plays, or reactions to the first publication of Jane Austen's novels. The carefully selected sources range from landmark essays in the history of criticism to journalism and contemporary opinion, and little published documentary material such as letters and diaries. Significant pieces of criticism from later periods are also included, in order to demonstrate the fluctuations in an author's reputation. Each volume contains an introduction to the writer's published works, a selected bibliography, and an index of works, authors and subjects. The Collected Critical Heritage set will be available as a set of 68 volumes and the series will also be available in mini sets selected by period (in slipcase boxes) and as individual volumes.
