Summary

A lively and ambitious satire in which Ben Jonson takes a stand on various developments in later Jacobean society. It offers a modernised text based on a collation of the 1631-40 folio, together with an introduction and a commentary which sets Jonson's art in its social and intellectual context.

The Staple of News Summary

The Staple of News: By Ben Jonson by Tony Parr

Excellent Revels text now back in print at the new GBP9.99 price. Leading edition of this play by Ben Jonson - no other edition of this calibre at the moment. Professor Anthony Parr has a proven track record with the Three Jacobean Travel Plays (now in paperback at GBP14.99). The complete canon of Ben Jonson is being brought back into print in the Revels. The play itself is one of Jonson's best and has a prescient storyline about journalism being traduced and becoming entertainment instead of remaining factual.
