Book Description
Originally published in 1928, this book presents the text of The Alchemist by Ben Jonson. An editorial introduction is included, along with extensive notes. Spelling and punctuation are occasionally modernised and a few passages are omitted, but aside from this the text of William Gifford's 1816 edition is followed.

Alchemist
Seller: World of Books Inc, Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 2 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Good. The Alchemist has long been admired as one of Ben Jonson's best dramas; its satiric cleverness and metatheatricality have delighted audiences from its first performance to the present day. Audiences are swept up in the schemes of a fake alchemist and other determined fraudsters whose scams appear to offer easy wealth and immortality. While no characters emerge unscathed by Jonson's satire, and while alchemy itself is revealed as most likely a sham, the play is nonetheless a tribute to the transformative--indeed, the alchemical--powers of the theater. This edition features a helpful introduction to the play, thorough annotations, and contextual materials including a selection of Jonson's sources, further materials on alchemy, and an example of rogue or coney-catching literature.
