Description

Experience Ben Jonson's great parable of greed and self-interest with this Arden Early Modern Drama edition. Volpone, Or, The Fox uses animal fables to satirize the wealthy and the greedy, making it one of his most distinctive and compelling dramatic works. Written for performance in 1606, the play follows the wealthy Venetian Volpone as he pretends to be on his deathbed. This scheme encourages Voltore, Corbaccio, and Corvino - representing the vulture, raven, and crow - to compete for his massive fortune. With biting humor and unflinching harshness, Jonson portrays a society hollowed out by over-monetization. This Bloomsbury edition provides a deep look into one of the most famous satirical plays in English literature.
