Binding: Paperback
Author: Ben Jonson
Publisher: Manchester University Press
Dewey Decimal Number: 808
Publication Date: 2001-02-24
Reading Level: 224
 
Description:
Bartholomew Fair is the climactic play of Ben Jonson's great comic period. Using the fair as a symbolic representation of religious, social, and political conflicts in Jacobean England, Jonson satirizes Puritans, fortune hunters, country bumpkins, and inept representatives of the justice system, along with sharpsters and con men who inhabit the fair. This edition is the first to use the findings of feminist scholarship in examining the play's concern with forced marriage, pregnancy, sexual commerce, and widowhood.
