The sharpest, funniest comedy about money and morals in the 17th
century is still the sharpest and funniest about those things in
the 21st. The full play text is accompanied by incisive commentary
notes which communicate the devastating comic energy of Volpone's
satire. The introduction provides a firm grounding in the play's
social and literary contexts, demonstrates how careful
close-reading can expand your enjoyment of the comedy, shows the
relevance of Jonson's critique to our modern economic systems, and
provides a clear picture of how the main relationships in the play
function on the page and stage. Supplemented by a plot summary and
annotated bibliography, it is ideal for students of Jonson, city
comedy and early modern drama.
