William Wicherley Knihy
William Wycherley byl anglický dramatik období Restaurace, známý především svými hrami "The Country Wife" a "The Plain Dealer". Jeho hry vynikají ostrovtipem a brilantním humorem, často se zabývají společenskými mravy a lidskými touhami své doby. Wycherley byl mistrem v zachycení tehdejšího života a jeho díla jsou dodnes ceněna pro svou drzost a literární kvalitu.
