Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a humor-comedy that satirically examines the life of Jacobean-era London, particularly the hypocritical aspects of people in power, and the follies of the time period. The author, considered the greatest English satirist of the era, uses typical characters as stand-ins for larger personalities, using them to skewer contemporary society and unveil the moral deficiencies of various classes of people. Punctuated by scholarly commentary from the wise character of Compass, the play exposes the absurdity of social conventions, pokes fun at wealthy misers, pompous clergymen, fraudulent doctors, and charlatan astrologers, among others. The overlapping dialogue and the use of long speeches interspersed with comments from other characters provides a lively and engaging read that is just as relevant now as it was when it was first written. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330642269_0
