This volume contains three of Ben Jonson's greatest plays - Sejanus (1603), Volpone (1606) and Epicoene, or The Silent Woman (1609). Sejanus, an experimental tragedy written in the classical manner, was labelled a seditious work at the time of its first production. Volpone is the first of his mature comedies, with a remarkable cast of Venetian legacy-hunters. Epicoene is a brilliant farce which makes fun of the pretensions of the courtiers, wits and bluestockings of contemporary London.Jonson, Ben is the author of 'Selected Plays of Ben Jonson' with ISBN 9780521292481 and ISBN 0521292484.
