Synopsis
Jonson's Every Man Out of His Humour is a comical satire about envy and aspiration among the ambitious middle classes, who seek happiness in fame and material fortune. This first critical edition of the play conveys early modern obsessions with wealth and self-display through historical contexts. The book offers an intriguing look at the course of urban comedy, and a wealth of information about social relationships and colloquial language at the end of the Elizabethan period.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Every Man out of His Humour is a satirical comedy play written by English playwright Ben Jonson, acted in 1599 by the Lord Chamberlain's Men. Written in a dramatic style with witty dialogue and clever wordplay, the play is a sharp critique of the vices and follies of society. Helen OstovichA˘a,Ĵa˘s edition of Every Man Out for the Revels Plays presents the text largely as readers found it in 1600 and restores the original ending, in which the appearance of Queen Elizabeth purges the envious humour of Macilente, JonsonA˘a,Ĵa˘s satiric agent, to bring the action full circle. The only modern critical edition besides the now out-dated Oxford edition by Herford and the Simpsons, OstovichA˘a,Ĵa. Seller Inventory # 426197
