About the Book
Volpone by Ben Jonson is one of the most celebrated plays from the English Renaissance, known for its sharp wit and dark humor. First published in 1606, this timeless classic explores themes of greed, deception, and corruption in a satirical manner.
The play centers around Volpone, a wealthy Venetian nobleman who pretends to be on his deathbed in order to trick others into giving him gifts in hopes of inheriting his fortune. Through a complex web of lies, deceit, and manipulation, Volpone and his cunning servant Mosca orchestrate a plot that results in unexpected and ironic consequences for all involved.
In this edition, readers can enjoy Jonson’s brilliant use of language and characterization in a fresh paperback format. A key work of the Jacobean theatre, Volpone remains a powerful critique of human folly and greed, making it a must-read for lovers of classic literature, drama, and social satire.
