About this ebook
Ben Jonson's 'Every Man in His Humor' is a classic comedy play that satirizes the fashionable affectations of the Elizabethan era. Written in 1598, the play embodies Jonson's signature style of sharp wit and keen observation of human behavior. The story follows the character, Kitely, as he navigates the quirks and follies of those around him, ultimately leading to a comedic resolution. The play is rich in lively dialogue, intricate plot twists, and memorable characters, making it a timeless piece of English literature. Ben Jonson, a contemporary of William Shakespeare, was a renowned playwright and poet of the English Renaissance. Known for his satirical works, Jonson's sharp intellect and critical eye are evident in 'Every Man in His Humor'. His deep understanding of human nature and societal norms allowed him to craft a play that continues to entertain and enlighten audiences centuries later. I highly recommend 'Every Man in His Humor' to readers who appreciate sharp wit, clever humor, and insightful social commentary. Jonson's masterful storytelling and timeless themes make this play a must-read for anyone interested in English Renaissance literature or comedy as a genre.
