The Way of the World What is the setting of The Way of the World by William Congreve? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 05:13 Last updated by Cat on 16 Jul 17:04
Congreve's play takes place in London, an apt setting since the play's action revolves around the ways of the fashionable world. Indeed, the play reflects the manners and customs of London life in 1700, when it was first performed.
