Review:
The Country Wife is shown to surpass much Restoration comedy in structural and thematic unity by counterpointing the principal's attitudes on sex and marriage. Although the plot is episodic and portrays multiple sets of lovers, Wycherley succeeds in evolving a clear dramatic line. --Seventeenth Century News
