Excerpt from The Devil Is an Ass
In The Devil is an Ass Jonson may be studied, first, as a student; secondly, as an observer.' Separated by only two years from the preceding play, Bartholomew Fair, and by nine from the following, The Staple of News, the present play marks the close of an epoch in the poet's life, the period of his vigorous maturity. Its relations with the plays of his earlier periods are therefore of especial interest.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the evolution of the Devil from a terrifying medieval figure to a clownish comic character in Jacobean drama. The author explores the historical and literary influences that shaped this transformation, focusing on the character of the Vice in morality plays. By tracing the Devil's journey from serious antagonist to bumbling fool, the book illuminates the changing attitudes toward evil and the supernatural in early modern England. It highlights the influence of popular legends, the rise of realism, and the author's own satirical intentions in reimagining the Devil as a comic figure. Ultimately, the book sheds light on the complex interplay between religion, morality, and entertainment in the development of English drama.
