Présentation de l'éditeur
Hope Theatre (on theB ank-side), October 31, 1614, and acted, as Jonson tells us, by theL ady Elizabeth sservants. The Lady Elizabeth was the daughter of James I. ;she married theE lector Palatine, and saw many evil days both as a wife and mother :her descendants have been more fortunate, and are now on the throne of Great Britain. The Biographia Drainatica speaks of an edition of this play in quarto, 1614. I know of no earlier one than the folio, 1631-1641, nordo I believe that it ever appeared in that form. In the title-page, it is said that it was dedicated in the year 1614 to King James ;but by this expression no more is meant than that it was addressed to him in an occasional prologue, written for the purpose ;though this probably led to the mistake just noticed. When this play was printed James was dead. Bartholomew Fair was always a favourite with the people: this is easily accounted for from the ridicule with which it covers the Puritans. It was revived, as might naturally be expected, immediately after the Restoration, and was frequently honoured with a royal command by Charles, whom tradition represents as greatly delighted with the character of Cokes, which was, indeed, excellently played by Wintersel and afterwards by Nokes, the most celebrated comic performer of those days.

BENJAMIN JONSON (c. 11 June 1572 ? c. 16 August 1637) was an English playwright and poet. Jonson's artistry exerted a lasting influence upon English poetry and stage comedy. He popularised the comedy of humours; he is best known for the satirical plays Every Man in His Humour (1598), Volpone, or The Fox (c. 1606), The Alchemist (1610) and Bartholomew Fair (1614) and for his lyric and epigrammatic poetry. 'He is generally regarded as the second most important English dramatist, after William Shakespeare, during the reign of James I and outlived Shakespeare by 21 years' His collected Workes were published the year Shakespeare died. 8vo. **Will be well-packed for posting/shipping**.
