Description

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. -- .
