The first decade of the Jacobean age witnessed a sudden profusion
of comedies satirizing city life; among these were comedies by Ben
Jonson, John Marston and Thomas Middleton, as well as the bulk of
the repertory of the newly-established children's companies at
Blackfriars and Paul's. The playwrights self-consciously forged a
new genre which attracted London audiences with its images of folly
and vice in Court and City, and hack-writing dramatists were prompt
to cash in on a new theatrical fashion. This study, first published
in 1980, examines ways in which the Jacobean city comedy reflect on
the self-consciousness of audiences and the concern of the
dramatists with Jacobean society. This title will be of interest of
students of Renaissance Drama, English Literature and Performance.
