Book excerpt: First performed in 1610, The Alchemist is one of Ben Jonson’s greatest comedies. Written for the King’s Men—the acting company to which Shakespeare belonged—it was first performed in Oxford because the playhouses in London were closed due to the plague. It was an immediate success and has remained a popular staple ever since. The play centers around a con man, his female accomplice, and a roguish butler who uses his master’s house to gull a series of victims out of their money and goods. Jonson uses the play to satirize as many people as he can—pompous lords, greedy commoners, and self-righteous Anabaptists alike—as his three con artists proceed to bilk everyone who comes to their door. They don multiple roles and weave elaborate tales to exploit their victims’ greed and amass a small fortune. But it all comes to a sudden, raucous end when the master unexpectedly returns to London and all the victims gather to try and reclaim their property.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Poetaster, or His Arraignment" by Ben Jonson is a satirical comedy that lampoons the literary and theatrical scene of Jacobean London. Set in ancient Rome, the play follows the rivalry between two poets, Horace and Crispinus, who vie for fame and recognition in the court of Emperor Augustus. Jonson uses the characters of Horace and Crispinus to satirize contemporary figures in the London literary world, including himself and his fellow playwrights. Through witty dialogue and biting humor, Jonson skewers the pretensions and vanities of those involved in the arts, as well as the political intrigues of the time. At the heart of the play is the character of Tucca, a swaggering braggart who serves as a parody of the Elizabethan stage clown. Tucca's antics add to the play's comedic elements and provide a colorful contrast to the more serious themes of artistic integrity and cultural criticism.
