Set in seventeenth-century London, this comedy by Ben Jonson explores themes of greed and deception through the story of a wealthy man feigning illness to manipulate his neighbors into vying for his fortune. As they compete for his favor, the play showcases a cast of vibrant characters and intricate plotting. Jonson's sharp wit and keen observations on human nature make this work a timeless satire of societal pretensions. This edition is edited by Jonas Barish and reflects the enduring relevance of Jonson's insights.
