Drama Classics: The World's Great Plays at a Great Little Price Ben
Jonson's comedy, one of the finest of the Jacobean era. Volpone is
a Venetian aristocrat, a loveable rogue who enjoys the cunning
pursuit of wealth more than money itself. Pretending to be mortally
ill, he watches as his greedy neighbours swarm around him with
expensive gifts in the hope of inheriting his fortune. Volpone was
premiered by the King's Men at the Globe Theatre, London, in 1606.
This edition of Volpone, in the Nick Hern Books Drama Classics
series, is edited by R.B.Parker, and introduced by Colin Counsell.
