The Country Girl (1766 play)
''The Country Girl'' by David Garrick is a derivative play adapted from ''The Country Wife'' by William Wycherley. By the time David Garrick adapted ''The Country Wife'' into ''The Country Girl'', Wycherley's play was considered too raunchy and scandalous to show in theaters. In ''The Country Girl'' the plot and characters of ''The Country Wife'' are reformed to exclude elements of the play which, at the time, were considered immoral or in bad taste.〔David Garrick, ("The Country Girl, A Comedy,(altered from Wycherley) As it is Acted at the Theatre-Royal in Drury-Lane" ), ''Eighteenth Century Collections Online, Gale Digital Collections.'', 1766. P.2〕
==Alterations from ''The Country Wife''==
In ''The Country Girl'', the most significant changes to the plot result from the removal of Horner, who in ''The Country Wife'' pretended to be impotent in order to seduce the wives of other men, particularly Mrs. Pinchwife, the country wife that Wycherley's play is named after. Rather than a plot focused on Horner's schemes and other raunchy elements, ''The Country Girl'' features the romance between the young aristocrat, Belville and Miss Peggy, an unmarried country girl who replaces Mrs. Pinchwife, and on Harcourt's wooing of Alithea who is engaged to Mr. Sparkish. Additionally, Harcourt, previously a less-than-reputable friend of Horner's, is rewritten as Belville's responsible uncle and mentor.
