Synopsis
Despite its popularity when it first appeared in print in 1600, Every Man out of His Humour has never appeared as a single modern critical edition until now. The volume's introduction and annotations convey early modern obsessions with wealth and self-display by providing historical contexts and pointing out the continuity of those obsessions into modern life. The play is of interest because of its influence on the course of city comedy and its wealth of information about social relationships and colloquial language at the end of Elizabeth's reign.
Jonson's experiments in generating theatrical meaning continued throughout his career, but Every Man out of His Humour – with its youthful vigour and extraordinary visualizations of the urban capacity for self-deceit – is a text that enriches the understanding of all the plays that come after it.

Paperback. Etat : Fair. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. Every Man out of His Humour is a satirical comedy play written by English playwright Ben Jonson, acted in 1599 by the Lord Chamberlain's Men. Written in a dramatic style with witty dialogue and clever wordplay, the play is a sharp critique of the vices and follies of society. Helen Ostovichââ,¬â"¢s edition of Every Man Out for the Revels Plays presents the text largely as readers found it in 1600 and restores the original ending, in which the appearance of Queen Elizabeth purges the envious humour of Macilente, Jonsonââ,¬â"¢s satiric agent, to bring the action full circle. The only modern critical edition besides the now out-dated Oxford edition by Herford and the Simpsons, Ostovichââ,¬â"¢s edition offers all the virtues of the Revels Playsseries: a carefully collated and sensitively modernised text, ample notes thatilluminate the dialogueââ,¬â"¢s witty wordplay, sources, and contemporary allusions,and an expansive introduction that comments insightfully on its dramatic mode. Slight marks to cover and some page edges. N° de réf. du vendeur 426197
