Comprehensively revised and updated, this Second Edition of Ben Jonson's Plays and Masques includes three of Jonson's most important plays-Volyoue, Epicoeue, and The Alchemist and three masques--Mercury Vindicated from the Alchemists at Court, Pleasure Reconciled to Virtue, and, new to the Second Edition, The Masque of Blackness, Jonson's first masque and one with particular interest to our own culture. Each work is accompanied by expanded textual annotations.
New to this edition is a section on "Backgrounds and Sources," which gives selections from some of the principal texts that influenced Volpone and The Alchemist, such as those by gilliam Caxton, Geoffrey Chaucer, and Erasmus. Also included is helpful material about the history of alchemy.
"Jonson on His Work" collects statements by the author on drama and poetry taken from his plays, from Discoveries, and from Conversations with William Drummond of Hawthornden. "Contemporary Readers on Jonson" includes tributes and poems about Jonson and his work by Sidney Godolphin, Edmund Waller, Jasper Mayne, and Thomas Carew.
"Criticism" retains three important essays by Jonas A. Barish, John DtTden, and Edward B. Partridge and offers nine new as- sessments by leading Jonson scholars, including Robert C. Evans, Anne Barton, Robert Watson, lan Donaldson, Richard Harp, D. J. Gordon, Stephen Orgel, John Mulryan, and Leah S. Marcus.
A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.
