Volpone and The Alchemist (Dover Thrift Editions)
December 27, 2012 / 258 pages (is this book fiction or nonfiction?)
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.
