The Modern Husband

''The Modern Husband'' is a play by Henry Fielding. It first ran on 14 February 1732 at the Royal Theatre, Drury Lane. The plot focuses on a man who sells his wife for money, but then sues for damages by adultery when the money is insufficient. The play also covers the stories of other couples and affairs and romantic pursuits.
The play criticises vice and society, but also criticised the law allowing a husband to sue for damages when his wife committed adultery. This view of marriage later served as the theme for Fielding's novel ''Amelia''. The play was well-met when it first ran, though there were some imperfections. Later critics found the characters lacking and the plot faulty, and believed that 18th century spectators would agree. They also believed ''The Modern Husband'' to be one of the most serious of the plays written by Fielding.
==Background==
''The Modern Husband'' first ran on 14 February 1732.〔Hume 1988 p. 126〕 Fielding put a lot of effort into crafting ''The Modern Husband'' and, as he admits in the prologue, sought to come up with something new. He first drafted the play in September 1730 and sent it to Lady Mary Montagu for her opinion.〔Hume 1988 p. 121〕 The play was produced on stage for 13 nights, which only the ''Provok'd Husband'' and ''Zara'' ran for as long during that time at Drury Lane. Although early 20th century critics believed that the play could not be popular, it did make money and even put on a benefit show on 2 March 1732. The play was not revived later, possibly because the principal actors of the play died soon after and that the plot of the play discouraged new actors from wanting to play the parts.〔Hume 1988 pp. 124–126〕
