The Country Girl (1766 Play)
''The Country Girl'' by David Garrick is a derivative play adapted from '' The Country Wife'' by William Wycherley.

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.

The Country Girls
''The Country Girls'' is a trilogy by Irish author Edna O'Brien. It consists of three novels: ''The Country Girls'' (1960), ''The Lonely Girl (''1962), and '' Girls in Their Married Bliss'' (1964). The trilogy was re-released in 1986 in a single volume with a revised ending to '' Girls in Their Married Bliss'' and addition of an epilogue. ''The Country Girls,'' both the trilogy and the novel, is often credited with breaking silence on sexual matters and social issues during a repressive period in Ireland following World War II and was adapted into a 1983 film. All three novels were banned by the Irish censorship board and faced significant public disdain in Ireland. O'Brien won the Kingsley Amis Award in 1962 for ''The Country Girls''.
