This edition of "The Devil is an Ass" (1616) aims to provide an
insight into Jonson's life and work, the theatrical qualities of
the play, its political background and its textual history. In his
introduction, Peter Happe looks at the special place of the play in
Jonson's own life, his interest in London, the theatrical setting
of the play and its sources and analogues. There are critical and
explanatory commentaries and a glossarial index. The play is seen
in its historical and political context, by linking it with late
medieval and Elizabethan plays, as well as with the Jacobean stage.
The text is meticulously and reliably edited, with modernized
spelling for today's reader. A commentary is provided to explain
difficult or significant passages. The stage history of the play
also includes very recent productions.
