Humor & Entertainment

The masque had a brief but splendid life as the dominant mode of entertainment at the early Stuart court. Extravagant multi-media happenings, court masques were filled with arcane allegorical references and frequently commented on political issues of the day. This selection, the most substantial available, brings together eighteen masques, tracing the evolution of the genre from Jonson's early masques for King James I to Davenant's 1640 masque for Charles I, performed just before the outbreak of the English Civil War. Together, these works offer fascinating insights into the culture and politics of the early 17th century.

Benjamin Jonson (1572-1637) was an English Renaissance dramatist, poet and actor. A good friend of William Shakespeare, he is best known for his satirical plays, particularly Volpone and The Alchemist which are considered his best, and his lyric poems. A man of vast reading and a seemingly insatiable appetite for controversy, Jonson had an unparalleled breadth of influence on Jacobean and Caroline playwrights and poets.

Every Man in His Humour (New Mermaid Series)

Each volume in this series contains a brief synopsis of the play and its stage history, notes on the playwright and critical comments. Jonson's play concerns Morose, a man whose dread of noise is so great he seeks to marry a silent woman.
