Description: The three plays collected in this volume depict the faults, errors and foibles of ordinary people with exuberant humour, savage satire and acute observations. "Volpone" portrays a rich Venetian who pretends to be dying so that his despised acquaintances will flock to his bedside with extravagant gifts in hope of an inheritance. "The Alchemist" also deals with greed and gullibility, as a rascally trio of confidence tricksters, claiming to have the legendary Philosopher's Stone, fool a series of victims who are hoping to make some easy money. And in a wonderfully energetic portrait of Jacobean life, "Bartholomew Fair" shows a diverse group of Londoners sampling the delights and temptations of the Fair - and the traders, prostitutes and cutpurses who set out to exploit them.

Description: This edition brings together Jonson's four great comedies Volpone, Epicene, The Alchemist, and Bartholomew Fair. The texts of these plays have all been newly edited for this volume, and are presented with modernized spelling. Stage directions have been added to help actors and directors reconstruct the play the way it would have been performed in the seventeenth century, and the introduction, notes, and glossary further bring to life these timeless comedies for the modern reader.

Description: These much-studied and frequently performed comedies by the great Elizabethan playwright satirize the greed, mendacity, gullibility, and pretension that Jonson saw rampant in 17h-century London society. Both plays feature colorful characters, ingenious plotting, biting wit, and sharp insight into human nature. This is the only edition to include both plays in one, inexpensive volume. |

Description: Given its suave sophistication and biting satire of upper-class manners, it is not surprising that this transvestite tour de force enjoyed immense popularity not only when it was first staged by the boy actors at Blackfriars in 1609 but sixty years later, after the Restoration. Both Pepys and Dryden bestowed superlative praise on it, even though it is a rather heartless comedy: Dauphine, a gallant-about-town has been disinherited by his uncle Morose, who marries a docile, quiet wife because he has a horror of other people's garrulity. His wife, however, turns out to be such a talkative shrew that he begs his nephew for release at any price - upon which Dauphine reveals that the 'silent woman' had all along been a boy actor in his pay. Shakespeare excelled in wistful tragicomedy, but only Jonson could have written a comedy that ends not in mirth and marriage but in malice and divorce.
