About this title

Synopsis

"The Devil Is an Ass," a satirical play by Ben Jonson, showcases the playwright's wit and keen observation of human folly. First performed in 1616, this Jacobean drama follows the misadventures of a minor devil, Pug, who journeys to London to wreak havoc but finds himself outmatched by the city's pervasive vices and corruptions. Jonson masterfully uses Pug's experiences to satirize the vanities and absurdities of early 17th-century English society, from get-rich-quick schemes to social climbing and moral hypocrisy.

This edition offers readers a chance to delve into Jonson's rich language and complex characters.
