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.
